Is it just me or has the recycling of soft drink bottles taken a step in the wrong direction? Malta had one of the best systems in the world for re-using (dare I say recycling?) used bottles. Crates of glass bottles were returned and refilled many times over. Then, just as we all got a conscience about our environment, everything changed to plastic.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I would think with the old system already functioning smoothly, surely the process involved in recycling plastic is the more polluting of the two.
