    Afaik the ideal is glass bottles that get cleaned and refilled locally. That gets rid of a lot of plastic waste

      That could be a solution for plastic bottles but what about other things like, say, a bucket or parts of an umbrella?

      Plastic is so much cheaper. Switching to alternatives might destroy economies since so many can barely afford it as it is.

      I like the idea of reuse but it seems unlikely that alternate materials would become the norm. Also, aside from growlers, filling bottles is not something I’ve seen in California.
