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.

Yes, as long as consumers continue to pick the shiny new plastics that corporations, focus groups, & marketers expect or convince them to pick.

Recycling plastic is & always was a scam.
In their 2024 paper, The Fraud of Plastic Recycling, The Center for Climate Integrity discovered that only 9-10% of all plastic has been & can be recycled.
Current U.S. plastic recycling is “only 5-6%”.
Overall paper recycling is estimated at <69% & glass at <32%. Not great numbers in general but far greater than plastic.
While glass, aluminum, paper, & obviously recycled plastics like six-pack rings should still be separated, others like those that are solid-colored, should be avoided if possible.
Unfortunately, trying to eliminate plastic seems to be nearly impossible if you buy almost anything today.
Lest we forget, this is the same industry that gifted us microplastics & forever chemicals so profits are clearly elevated over people.
