In the late 70's early 80's they had cardboard milk jug type soda containers for fountain drinks. It worked well. I would buy them. I hate having a utility room full of soda bottle that I can't get rid of right now.
Paper milk cartons haven't been wax coated in a very long time, like over 50 years. They have a plastic coating.
I agree. On a related note, I received a, package that had what I thought were plastics "peanuts" to cushion the content. DH told me they were made of corn! You just wash them down the drain and they immediately dissolve into a liquid that safely washes away. I had no idea there was such a thing.If it works well and doesn't leave a funny taste, then it's an interesting alternative to plastic. Plastic is very important in some applications, but we use far too much of it in applications where plastic isn't the best solution. So, now we have plastic waste everywhere on the planet. There pieces of microplastic in all the glaciers around Mount Everest. There's plastic waste all over isolated beaches in the Arctic and so many other places. I think most of us know it's a serious problem.
