One for the Environment: Returnable Beer Bottles in Oregon

Seven Oregon craft beer producers will start selling beer in reusable glass bottle in July, starting the country's first statewide refillable beer bottle program. 

Oregon’s Widmer Brothers, Buoy Beer, Double Mountain, GoodLife, Gigantic, Wild Ride and Rock Bottom breweries will be pioneering the program with some of their beers. Other breweries may join the program later.

The bottles can be reused up to 40 times, and will be specially marked.
