    Aluminum isn’t really a great option either. Modern cans have to be lined with a coating of plastic to avoid corrosion. Sure it’s a super thin coating, but it’s plastic all the same (and can contain some pretty nasty largely unregulated chemicals like PFAS)

    I’m here for glass, though, and maybe we’ll find a good replacement for the lining in cans if plastic bottles aren’t allowed.

      The problem with glass is that it’s heavy and fragile. That means more weight, less product per volume, and more loss. All of that means less efficiency, meaning more trucks on the road and more emissions.
