Can I drink soda after the expiration date?

What's more eco-friendly, glass, plastic or aluminum cans?

Glass bottles are 40 percent lighter today than they were 20 years ago, which means it takes less fuel and produces fewer emissions to transport them. The same can be said of plastic. As for cans, today's models have a carbon footprint that is 43 percent lower than cans from 1993. Whatever container you use, just recycle it.

What if I break a bottle? Is it still recyclable?

No. It presents a possible hazard to handlers and recycling facilities are often not equipped to remove tiny pieces of broken glass from other recyclables.
