Milk companies used to pick up and drop off refillable glass milk bottles. We could reduce plastic use if soda companies did something similar with vending machines.
It would be really cool if there were national container size standards like mason jar sizes. Maybe grocery stores or recycling centers could “buy back” empty jars to be cleaned and reused. We’ve got to do something because we’ve collectively been sitting on our hands for the last 40+ years that plastic waste has been a known issue.
This is pretty much a summary of their press release. I don’t think regurgitating companies patting themselves on the back should count as uplifting news, especially when it piggybacks on the bottle deposit system that’s already been there since the 70s.
