I think we'll have to go back to glass bottles in the next few years. Firstly, way too few plastic bottles are actually reprocessed and reused. Secondly, various plastics leach chemicals into the bottle's contents.
I'm sure stores are not looking forward to collecting glass bottles for return to the responsible beverage companies. It was a pain in the 1970s, before the switch to plastic.
Also, with glass, there's a relatively large number of bottles that get broken and skip the reuse / recycle pathways.
