    You should reuse glass bottles first, not recycle them after 1 use.

      Nah… We tried that. It wasn’t practical. All shops were required to collect glass bottles from customers. You then had to transport them to cleaning facilities. Before transporting them to the breweries. Then back to the stores. And you had to have special crates for transporting the bottles. Since the number of bottles received wasn’t the same as the number of bottles sold, you also had to distribute those crates between stores.

      Here we ended up recycling all the plastic and aluminium bottles. They are shredded in the store to make transport efficient. Then transported to the recycling facility. Here about 90% of all bottles are recycled.
