Ask Pablo
Should I buy soda in plastic bottles or aluminum cans?
By Pablo Päster [2008-01-28]

  • but.....

    "Both types of container are frequently made from virgin materials"

    Yeah, but they don't have to be. aluminum containers are frequently made from recycled aluminum, at a huge savings over getting them from ore. AFAIK, plastic containers for human drinkables are never made from recycled material, for fear of contaminants.
