It would slow down Production
And Cost to much to change machines
in all World factory's.


Paxman is in the Papers
Angry at them.

And I will not buy their plastic bottles. Seems Coca Cola and I have reached an impasse.

[Niamh.]

If countries started banning plastic bottles entering the country they'd change their machines soon enough I think

[Calderyon]

I will still continue buying Coca Cola.

Even though soda tastes better from a glass bottle.

[Twosugars]

They should as glass can be recycled
They are a rich company, they should be able to afford it

[Nicky91]

you can re-use plastic too tbf

if your bottles are empty you can fill them with water, especially during hot summers this is quite nice to fill em with water, put them in refrigerator and you got nice cool water, also for those lemonades you only gotta fill up with water


we have re-cycled our plastic candy bucket too, to put new candy in it when it's empty, just wash it, during you wash dishes, cups and it's clean for newer candy

Yes it can be changed
But in Africa and India
its faster Production in Plastic.
And they are staying with Plastic.


No Nation has told Coca Cola to change

plastic is lighter and safer for a kid to handle than glass. It has it's place. I think some people forget the big picture when considering the environment.

Of Course
but that's not the majority
as they chuck the bottle
which can end up in the sea

Good Point.

Glass is heavier to transport, I know. But I used to buy two or three big bottles of diet coke every week, now I buy six small glass bottles. I think people are starting to question more where everything comes from and how much it took to get it here. I bloody hope so anyway!

My lad sliced his wrist and arm really badly from broken glass when he took a fall playing football. When you see something like that, believe me, you would take plastic every time

Kids survived fine before plastic bottles housed all the soft drinks. Also a kid who is too young to manage a bottle, is probably too young to be drinking coke as well tbf

Yes Maybe in Big Supermarkets
they could have Large Glass Bottles
and Plastic

[MTVN]

Agree with bots - just imagine all the plastic bottles that get littered now being replaced with glass ones, broken glass in all our roads, pavements, parks etc and glass bottles being on all our towns litter bins

Plus as she said, switching all their production to glass and aluminum would probably increase their carbon footprint because of how much more difficult they are to produce and transport

Re-using single use plastic bottles is not a good idea.

Get yourself a proper re-useable bottle.

Maybe the kids can have the recyclable aluminium cans?

Plastic seems to be the biggest problem we have right now though, we can't keep on producing endless supplies of it with no way to re use it

Or just get rid of bottles totally and only use the recyclable cans, they could do different sizes

[Marsh.]

Good idea.

And I think they already do. The have regular, tall thin ones and the tiny mixer ones.

I suppose they'd need some way to make resealable bigger cans though to replace 2 litre bottles but a great start would be just getting rid of the small, one person bottles

[Mitchell]

I’ve started only drinking the cans recently.

God, yes... I can understand that. Hope he's okay.
