    Glass vs plastic has two issues, glass costs more to ship because it weighs many times what glass does and glass comes with increased rates of injury from broken glass. Cans are the best solution.

      Cans are still flawed. The inside is coated in plastic as well, so while the aluminum is recyclable, and indeed frequently recycled, the plastic inside is not.

        True but that does burn off during recycling so while it is not perfect they are better than glass or plastic from a carbon footprint POV.
