It depends on the bottle, but they’re also more work to recycle than make new ones. Even with us running low on usable sand - there’s companies turning glass back into sand at this point
The upside is you can sterilize and reuse them, and if you make them a little thicker they’re pretty strong
We have plastic bottles because CocaCola did not want to collect and reuse the glass ones.
And because the eminently recyclable aluminum cans are somehow not good enough.
The aluminum ones have a plastic liner, and aluminum is cheap to make - recycling is incomparable to reuse, and a world away from reduce
Yikes, I had no idea. Please tell me there’s nothing wrong with glass bottles.
