Aluminum is actually recycled, and should replace PET for all drinks packaging

To the best of my knowledge, no one has made a resealable aluminium can. Until that is solved aluminium is inferior to PET for many use cases. In fact this is the primary reason I hardly ever buy soda in cans.

Screw-on-cap aluminium bottles and glass bottles both exist.

Never seen drinks sold in screw-on-cap aluminium bottles. In what country or what type of drinks use them?

		In Japan they are very common for canned coffee, I dunno if it's because plastic bottles are unsuitable for warm drinks or something? (the drinks are kept hot ready to drink in the vending machine/store aisle) https://dol.ismcdn.jp/mwimgs/d/e/-/img_def751445b616015211f3... https://img.kurashinista.jp/get/2023/01/06/c4cc391408c0f5663... https://cafe-no-chishiki.club/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/アルミ...

		Seen them in probably every convenience store in South Korea and some other East/South East Asian countries. Coffee, juice. Not sure if they have the inner plastic container aluminium cans have.
