Thoughts? I am currently trying to avoid using plastic packed drinks as much as possible due to it’s limited and finite recycle count

      A standalone plastic bottle is 20-40g of PET.

      The lining of a soda can is about 1g of BPA.

        Yeah, but it is a lining. The entire interior surface is plastic, so is the risk of chemical leeching any different?

            The BPA coating is what I’m referring to. A lot of people are not fond of plastic bottles because they want to avoid BPA leeching jntk their drink. Switching to a can lined with BPA doesn’t seem to help the issue at all.

              Honestly, not much that can be done other than voicing concerns to your representatives. Thankfully, here in EU a resolution has been passed earlier this year banning BPA and other bisphenols. Hopefully it gets put into action soon.

      They have plastic coating, yes, but way less plastic and way easier to just burn it off in the crucible.
