Comment on ‘Huge disappointment’ as UK delays bottle deposit plan and excludes glass
thehatfox@lemmy.world 6 months agothere’s no reason not to do it again except the distribution network is more centralised now, and sending stuff back is something nobody budgets for
So I’ve heard that’s the main issue with reusing glass bottles now. Drink bottling is more centralised which means higher transport costs to return them, making it uneconomical. When it used to be done here bottles would return to a more local bottling plant.
