But as these bottles are largely single-use, many of them are discarded and dumped in the earth’s ecosystems, where they constitute a significant portion of all environmental waste.
They only counted recyclable bottles as single use if discarded anywhere but a recycling center assuming they may or may not be recycled so they assume it’s trash until it’s recycled or degraded.
But as these bottles are largely single-use, many of them are discarded and dumped in the earth’s ecosystems, where they constitute a significant portion of all environmental waste.
Let’s break it down.
“But as these bottles are largely single-use” - does not define ‘single-use’ but implies that the following statement is about single-use bottles
“many of them are discarded and dumped in the earth’s ecosystems, where they constitute a significant portion of all environmental waste.” - says that many of the aforementioned are dumped and constitute environmental waste.
That’s it. That’s the entirety of the quote you provided.
Where do you get that single-use is defined as only the unrecycled bottles from THAT?
That is the definition…, they’re used a single time and dumped into the environment. That’s what single use plastics are, I’ve legit never heard of anyone aside from you refer to glass as single use.
They say glass new and recycled but accept that a large amount of glass bottles still end up in the ecosystem.
I didn’t say it defined single use glass, that’s just a you thing. It defines sickle use for the article in which it is used solely to describe items that are used once and dumped into the ecosystem. It is specifically never referred to in reference to glass in the article.

That’s literally not what the quote says.
That’s exactly what it says.
