Yeah! All aluminum cans have a thin plastic lining. So do soup cans. They’re still both better than plastic packaging, but it just shows how difficult it is to completely remove plastic from your life.
I drink a lot of beverages that come in aluminum cans so I am reaaaally hoping that they have less microplastic risk than 100% plastic packaging does.
It’s always so surprising. I heard somewhere that even glass bottles have a lot of microplastics in them because the paint from the top of the bottle tops gets into the drinks when they seal them. It’s crazy out there.

Citation needed. Aluminum needs much more energy.
