Glass soda bottles just hit different™ I would pay extra if it's an option
They do, but you're not supposed to hit people with them.
Glass is a verb isn't it? What else would you do with them.
average NCD Member lmao
Yes, but not the one I was initially thinking of. I am also British.
Here you can get them at most grocery stores. It's also usually the standard for German Brands, it's mostly Coca Cola Brands that are sold in Single-Use-Plastic
Not in Iran. Only some restaurants, mostly old school ones carry them now. They also take the bottle back, send it to the factory, where they are cleaned and filled again.
Err, the fact that you get a deposit back when returning the bottles means they're most certainly NOT single use.
PET flasks are very easily recycled. Easier then glass. There is a whole industry built on it!
Here in NL we've had this system for as long as i can remember. (Im over 50)
Not disposable is what you mean I think, the pet bottles aren't refilled so they actually are recycled unlike beer bottles which are reused and not single use (mehrweg in german). The term is a bit confusing because it is also used to describe stuff like plastic bags, cutlery and 'paper' cups (you bin those after using it once)
Cute little pet bottles. /j
Err, wrong. Every Bottle in Germany has a deposit on them. 25ct for Single Use PET 15ct for Multi-Use PET and Glass Bottles
And Use refers to the amount of times they get refilled until the material gets recycled.
So..we say the same thing? The bottle or the materials get reused when there is a deposit?
You still get the micro plastic bonus tho
I've stopped drinking from plastic bottles completely. And glass bottled soda is so rare here that I buy it whenever I come across it.
Sadly my preferred brand of cider recently changed from glass bottles to plastic ones, so I'm looking around.
