      Here you can get them at most grocery stores. It’s also usually the standard for German Brands, it’s mostly Coca Cola Brands that are sold in Single-Use-Plastic

        Not in Iran. Only some restaurants, mostly old school ones carry them now. They also take the bottle back, send it to the factory, where they are cleaned and filled again.

        Err, the fact that you get a deposit back when returning the bottles means they’re most certainly NOT single use.

        PET flasks are very easily recycled. Easier then glass. There is a whole industry built on it!

        Here in NL we’ve had this system for as long as i can remember. (Im over 50)

          Not disposable is what you mean I think, the pet bottles aren’t refilled so they actually are recycled unlike beer bottles which are reused and not single use (mehrweg in german). The term is a bit confusing because it is also used to describe stuff like plastic bags, cutlery and ‘paper’ cups (you bin those after using it once)

          Err, wrong. Every Bottle in Germany has a deposit on them. 25ct for Single Use PET 15ct for Multi-Use PET and Glass Bottles

          And Use refers to the amount of times they get refilled until the material gets recycled.

      I’ve stopped drinking from plastic bottles completely. And glass bottled soda is so rare here that I buy it whenever I come across it.

      Sadly my preferred brand of cider recently changed from glass bottles to plastic ones, so I’m looking around.
