A thin plastic film… in other words a plastic bottle.
Actually a resin. Made of BPA, which is released into the atmosphere during the recycling process. Which contributes to the 1 million pounds of bpa released every year.
Basically small amounts of plastic BPA, burned into the air for each and every can.
So no cans currently do not solve the plastics problem.
I think you may have an unworkable concept of what “solving” the plastic problem means, when you can’t tell the difference between a film and a bottle. Both of which have largely phased out BPA already.
You tell me the difference when that film is continuously converted to a gas in the atmosphere. So you are saying as long as it’s thin enough it’s not important to worry about?
No they have not phased out bpa for all aluminum cans. As of September Germany for example is still waiting for regulations on bpa.
Also in Srptember a new company is about to replace yet another attempt at.making a clean lining for aluminum because the bpa became bps etc.
Their point was that buying a can just means you are buying a plastic container anyways, that happens to be reinforced with aluminum.
It’s still a plastic bottle.
It’s not. It’s a thin plastic film. One that doesn’t get into the environment at nearly the rate, since the aluminum is actually worth recycling.
