I feel like we are stuck in a loop. Perhaps we need question whether or not it still makes sense to transport food and drink in small, individual containers. One solution might be to transport in bulk. You could take your own bottles to the supermarket that are whatever shape and material you desire and fill them up.

How do you preserve the carbonation of soft drinks, then?

In order for drinks to stay fizzy, the container has to be filled under pressure. Even if you offer customers some fancy machine that can fill their bottles under pressure, you still risk issues with customers bringing in old, flimsy containers that cannot withstand those pressures.

I'm not sure what the solution to that would be. Maybe sodastreams will become popular again.

Same kind of reusable bottle you'd buy kombucha in. Flip top, gasket seal.
