Thoughts? I am currently trying to avoid using plastic packed drinks as much as possible due to it's limited and finite recycle count

The BPA coating is what I'm referring to. A lot of people are not fond of plastic bottles because they want to avoid BPA leeching jntk their drink. Switching to a can lined with BPA doesn't seem to help the issue at all.

Honestly, not much that can be done other than voicing concerns to your representatives. Thankfully, here in EU a resolution has been passed earlier this year banning BPA and other bisphenols. Hopefully it gets put into action soon.

I hope to emigrate to the EU one day. To be blunt, we do not have our shit together over here...

Honestly, it's not much better here. But better.

At least the aluminium shields it from sunlight. Maybe that mean less leeching?
