The part that makes me angriest about this is that they’re probably citing TerraCycle Japan as their recycling partner in this.
Like they do in this PR release about “recycling” their jelly drink packages
https://www.morinaga.co.jp/company/english/sustainability/environment/package.html
TerraCycle is a fraudulent greenwashing operation that produces attractive plastic collection containers, but doesn’t actually make sure that anything put in them actually gets recycled.
This has been proven over multiple lawsuits and reporting exposes.
Oh wow… Replace glas with fucking plastic… Because Japan doesn’t have enough of that already… Man just use fucking tins instead! They are 100% recyclable, they don’t take much space when not used and they don’t put fucking Plasticizers and microplastics in your milk!
and they don’t put fucking Plasticizers and microplastics in your milk!
This is the one thing they still have in common; metal cans usually have a plastic liner on the inside to keep the metal from leeching into the product and/or corroding it.
Not all, most i can buy where i live are from aluminum so they don’t need it. Idk why anyone would use anything not aluminum for it.
Another option is to galvanize The thing, but thats pretty inefficient.
Btw aluminum is so corrosive that its cording from just being outside an oil, the difference to iron is however that the rust isn’t falling off and actually protecting the aluminum.
You need pretty strong chemicals to get through aluminum, wich isn’t a thing in most beverages.
Another advantage of tins is that they have a higher thermal conductivity, meaning they cool faster and more efficiently than glas or plastic.
Le good old fashioned aluminum coke can with most of the aluminum off
I’ve dissolved some myself, the ones i had didn’t have plastic inside.
Coca-Cola definitely does however, its the biggest plastic producer in the world.
Aluminum cans are what the liners are in more than any other metal since the acids in foods like tomatoes and beverages like soda can break it down.
To be replaced by more microplastic, of course! Yay!
