      I dunno. it takes a lot more heat to melt and recycle some glass that plastic. that and the transport weight is a whole lot of extra environmental cost.
      and the whole separating by color thing in the recycling bins. best bet is to reuse the bottles for the same beverage by rinsing them back at the original bottling plant but that is a logistics nightmare

        Aren’t they as equally unrecycleable as plastic?

        I can’t even put them in my recycling bin…which is where the glass and plastic goes.
