    I would like to see standardized glass containers. Pay a deposit for them, keep and use them for as long as you like, bring them back in good condition to any participating restaurants to get your deposit back.

      I’ve heard a major cost of glass is the comparative weight causing more cost for fuel in transport. Perhaps as electric vehicles become more practical for hauling goods, we could see a return to more glass use in the near future as the difference in fuel cost could be negligible then.

        It’s darn near negligible now, but any company that leaves that $.01 on the table will eventually get eaten alive by a company that didn’t.
