The Absurdity Of Plastic Bans

Posted: 8/14/2019

Today, I saw this article on Bloomberg News: Coke Putting Dasani Water in Cans Amid Backlash Against Plastic (8/13/19). “Coke will start selling [aluminum] canned Dasani in the U.S. Northeast next month, with plans to expand the product to other parts of the country in 2020. The announcement comes after PepsiCo Inc. said recently it would experiment with selling Aquafina, its mainstream water brand, in cans at restaurants and stadiums.” (emphasis added)

If this headline does not express the whole absurdity of plastic bans, what does!

How much energy does aluminum production require? How many tons of additional aluminum containing minerals have to be mined if this switch is implemented on a global scale?
