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

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.

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!

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

[Calderyon]

I will still continue buying Coca Cola.

Even though soda tastes better from a glass bottle.

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

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

[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

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

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

Get yourself a proper re-useable bottle.

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

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

[Mitchell]

I’ve started only drinking the cans recently.

[smudgie]

Fizzy drinks were all sold in glass bottles 50/60 years ago, in Africa and over here. Mainly the larger bottles in Britain when I was a kid, and both sizes in Africa.


Edit to say, boycott the beggars.

[Tom4784]

It's utterly selfish of them to not move to another more environmentally friendly container. I hope this bites them in the arse before it bites everyone.

But Dezzy
Glass is Dangerous
Plastic is not.

Coca Cola do many soft drinks
Massive Factory's in many nation's
they are staying with Plastic
that can recycled
but so many do not.

Yes Asia Nation's dumping Rubbish near the Sea
do not care.
The Damage is done.


But in Our Zones
we Recycle

Let's be honest, plastic is much more convenient than glass, and if Coca Cola switched their bottles to all glass their sales would probably drop dramatically.
