just ban plastic bottles.... cans work just fine.
That is all very expensive and environmentally unfriendly compared to potential for reuse of strong bottles.
Unless you force a redesign so that cans are reusable. (No more tab - instead a bottle cap, standard shape, no crushing, heavier, thicker, more expensive.)
That would have the same benefit as bottles: The ability to drink only part of the contents (like people do with water). The downside is that you can't see what is inside (an important factor for many people when they purchase - especially water).
