Thoughts? I am currently trying to avoid using plastic packed drinks as much as possible due to it’s limited and finite recycle count

Unless they’re reused over and over again.
They’re not re-used over and over again. Every drink manufacturer has its own bottle shape, thus most bottles just go into a smelter. And smelting glass is a fucking nightmare from the environment’s perspective.
Then this is a problem with regulation. Bottle manufacturers should be forced to use only a couple regulated shapes.
But in the case I’m talking about, I’d be reusing the glass bottle myself, taking the empty one somewhere to refill. Which is way more sustainable than the basically single-use plastic jugs I have to use now.
Plastic is not a signle use. You can it re-use it the same way. It lasts forever, remember?
It’s about micro plastics leeching into the water. Reusing plastic means more and more of the micro plastics end up in the water.
And besides, there’s no infrastructure for me to get distilled water outside of buying a new plastic jug.
Is this really that difficult to understand?
Micro plastics don’t do crap. CO2 emissions on the other hand…
