Reports that Capri Sun is phasing out pouches for bottles is ruining childhoods everywhere: 'Should be ILLEGAL'

Sad, from a nostalgia point of view, but probably a win, environmentally. We have a pipeline to recycle plastic bottles, the mylar pouches are pretty much all single use.
We actually don’t have a pipeline to recycle plastic bottles though, right?
Bottle deposit systems are generally effective. In Sweden, 90-95% of the pet plastic in drink bottles makes it back to a factory to be used as raw material for new bottles. We don't really recycle the hdpe lids or polyester labels, though.
Why aren't we just using glass, as we did for decades just fine.

When you say "we" as in you and me, yeah, I don't think we could manage to recycle them. "We" as a planet certainly can and many countries do.
But much better to use aluminium.
At least aluminum actually is recyclable.
Source on this "pipeline"?
Recycling bin > recycling lorry > container > third world country > sea.
...do you not believe bottles are recycled? Or is this just a snarky way of pointing out how ineffective the system is?
