    But I can reuse a plastic bottle more than 2.5 times. I can’t reuse jet fuel more than once.

      Only a tiny amount of plastic bottles are reused or even made to be reusable. There’s no way to even make a dent in the horrendous waste of bottled beverages without drastically reducing the amount of single use plastic bottles produced.

    “The plastics industry” is a lot bigger than just disposable water bottles. Not to say you should use disposable bottles. According to the UN, 36% of plastics were used in packaging (which includes packaging of beverages, ie disposable water bottles).
