Why not ban all forms of bottled or canned drinks? If you are suggesting that the brewery should install a pipeline to my front door, I wouldn't object.

No, I was thinking giving up all bottles and cans would be in the spirit of giving stuff up in order to correct the climate "emergency". Some exceptions for critical liquids such as medical and possibly some industrial. We consumers, would only drink water unless in a pub or restaurant.

😅 TBH, I am a fool when it comes to environmental facts. I still have no idea if any brewery companies use 100% recycled aluminium material.
Are 100% recycled glasses really that bad compared to 100% recycled aluminium cans for our environment?
It sounds like consumers are being blamed for all kinds of environmental issues.
Also, is there any chance some countries are hoarding aluminium like fossil fuels for future production hikes?

I see the Farnborough air show is on and Airbus are displaying some of their new models.
Last year they made 735 aircraft, but currently have a backlog of over 8000 on their order book.
Does Airbus use 100% recycled aluminium for making their airplanes/ parts as well?

Most aircraft are made with carbon composites. They reduce the weight of the aircraft and make flights more efficient. Unfortunately, aircraft get struck by lightening and a metal fuselage is good for conducting the strike. Lightening would blow a hole through composite structures so they have to bond a copper mesh within the composite to conduct the lightening. Unfortunately the mesh expands at a different rate to the composite, which can cause the paint on the outside of the aircraft to peel off. Airbus A350's are particularly prone to this problem.

Well, only 21 A350 delivered this year so far, compared to 289 single Aisle aircrafts this year. A380 has about 61% aluminium, A 320 has 72% aluminium composition

There are not many info Airbus uses recycled aluminium for building aircrafts.

Qatar Airways have said that buying them was the biggest mistake they ever made and they would love to get rid of them. Only problem is they cant't get any A350's to replace them. BA have a similar attitude. I think lots of airlines are regretting scrapping their B747 fleet during covid. They were old and inefficient, but did shift a lot of passengers.
