They may look very similar, and they are quite different though on the outside,but the differences between the two materials also result into varying effects they have on the environment, as well as on people.
Plastic bottles are made using a large quantity of petroleum, while aluminum bottles are made using refined bauxite ore. However, While plastic bottles contain BPA (bisophenol), BPA has been reliably been associated with a number of health hazards, most notable being the link with certain cancers.
Aluminum bottles keep liquids colder for longer hours than plastic bottles. They will also put up much better with hard use than plastic bottles.
Although both materials can be recycled, aluminum bottles are more efficient to recycle as 50% can be recycled compared to 10% of plastic. Because of petroleum used in recycling, plastic requires more energy to recycle hence, it becomes expensive to recycle over and over, while aluminum can be recycled several times because less energy is required. Also, the more plastic is recycled, the more it degrades in qualit.
