Thoughts? I am currently trying to avoid using plastic packed drinks as much as possible due to it’s limited and finite recycle count
Aren’t aluminum cans still plastic bottles on the inside?
A standalone plastic bottle is 20-40g of PET.
The lining of a soda can is about 1g of BPA.
Yeah, but it is a lining. The entire interior surface is plastic, so is the risk of chemical leeching any different?
Isn’t “BPA-free” a selling point for food-safe plastic because BPA is bad?
That’s like saying cars and trucks are made of paint because they have a layer of it on the outside.
Can liners are both an extremely small portion of the overall container as well as being absolutely essential for most canned beverages.
Additionally, many/most manufacturers have or are moving away from liner materials that contain BPA.
They have plastic coating, yes, but way less plastic and way easier to just burn it off in the crucible.
