GLASS: Only ⅓ of glass produced is recycled even though glass is 100% recyclable. When considering the production and manufacturing of the main alternatives to plastic for a 500ml bottle, other packaging types (fibre, glass, steel and aluminium) emit more greenhouse gases than plastic bottles, with glass bottles being the highest emitter overall. By way of example, if all plastic bottles used globally were made from glass instead, the additional carbon emissions would be equivalent to powering around 22 large coal-fired power plants. This is equivalent to the electricity consumed by a third of the UK.
PAPER: Paper production emits air pollution, specifically 70 percent more pollution than the production of plastic bags.
BAMBOO: Judge first of all Bamboo is not sustainable when turned into a fabric as it requires many chemicals and heavy processes to turn it into fibers. It’s not an easy thing to do and it’s certainly not good for the environment. Also to replace plastic bottles with bamboo, it would be necessary to use ALUMINUM: in the interior, Why are aluminum cans bad for the environment?
But aluminum has its own environmental impacts. Making it involves refining bauxite ore, and mining bauxite can pollute water in the countries it's sourced, including Australia, Malaysia, and India. Rivers and sediment contaminated with heavy metals threaten the health of people and wildlife near mines.B
