While some beverage makers may balk at an aluminum bottle (it is a little difficult to see the beverage when the bottle isn’t glass.), it does make for a much greener manufacturing process all the way around.

• In more rural areas, it is virtually impossible to recycle glass in an environmentally or economically efficient way.
• Aluminum bottles would also help recyclers by increasing the volume of aluminum they recycle.
• Most bottles include a paper label which only impedes the recycling process.

I know there have to be negative aspects to aluminum bottles and I’m interested in your thoughts. What possible downsides do you see to aluminum bottles?
