07.01.2022 Bottles or Cans?? CANS!!! Why? Cans are made of one thing, aluminium, which is infinitely and easily recyclable Bottles are made of glass, paper, tin and plastic. The caps have plastic on the underside of them, most bottle caps don't get recycled Cans use far less energy when recycled... Cans are lighter and therefore less carbon is burnt during freight Cans don't break, whereas glass shatters in recycling bins which can contaminate other recyclables resulting in the whole batch going to landfill #sustainability #ecowarrior #conservation
