In the Philippines, Coca-Cola, Pepsi and other fizzy/soda companies are still sold in glass bottles.
I visited last year and was surprised to see Coca-Cola in glass bottles, which I had long forgotten in England and probably other countries too!
That even other fizzy drinks come in glass bottles.
You can take them home with a small deposit, and once you're done, you return the empty bottle to the shop, either to exchange it for a full one or to get your deposit back.
So, some countries like the Philippines are still practising a Deposit Return Scheme (DRS), which helps reduce the production of new bottles. It’s better for the environment and also for our health.
And I must say, the drinks in glass bottles tasted better!
