What it takes to quit plastic

America generates 40 million tons of plastic waste a year — and it can't be recycled.

Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, and Nestlé are the world’s top polluters of the year (again).

An annual report by the Break Free From Plastic Campaign found the three corporations to rank the highest in the amount of plastic pollution they create, with Coke taking the lead.

Nowadays, the plastic pollution is one of the biggest environmental burdens. Statistics say that annually, we throw away enough plastic to circle the globe 4 times. Also, it has been shown that 50% of the plastic is thrown after the first use.

Some of us are old enough to remember when soft drinks came in glass bottles, which were returned to the bottling plant, washed, and refilled.

High speed bottle washers were developed to make this a fast, efficient, and sanitary process though automation. It was also a sustainable one, because bottles could be reused many times.

Bottle washing was made possible through round-trip logistics: bottles were filled at the plant, and delivered by the Pepsi driver in wood, and then later on, plastic crates. Store employees would stock the refrigerator with full bottles, and customers would place employ bottles in the crates. The driver would pick up these empties, and so the truck that left the plant with full cases of product would return full of empties. These bottles would be run through automated washers, dried, and refilled.

Today, there is no reason why soft drinks and spring water cannot be sold in washable bottles once more. The only thing missing is demand.

This page was created to create demand for beverages sold in washable glass bottles. If we can shift demand from plastic to glass, the bottlers will respond. The technology is there. We just need to use consumer demand to bring it back.
