I am not sure if you create more waste in the us. maybe but even if you did a proper recylcing channel does not need a bottle deposit..
Do you realise the stuff only gets recycled if someone buys it? The rest goes into landfill. Glass has to be reformulated after being melted down, or it doesn't make good glass. The sodium is partially lost in the process. The plastic has to be mixed with at least 30% new polyethylene also. And they keep makung them thinner.
