The Aproz mineral water was filled into a much thinner PET bottle and the lid was also tied tight. In my opinion, the water should be filled in glass bottles again. What do you think?

I can tell you in advance the answer that Migros will give you: "Glass is made from sand and lime and is easy to recycle. However, a lot of energy is needed to produce and recycle glass - especially for melting it down. In addition, glass bottles are many times heavier than plastic bottles. In addition to the higher material consumption, this also has ecological disadvantages during transportation, as fuel consumption is higher than for lightweight plastic bottles." Excerpt from an earlier Migros answer to the same question.

That's right 😉
On balance, plastic bottles are more ecological than glass bottles. But the most ecological option would be to drink tap water. No need to fill, transport and recycle.
Very good idea Anyone who is seriously concerned with the issue of plastic and its residues in drinking water does not ask themselves whether glass bottles are better or not. Then we just carry a little more or have it delivered to us - it's healthier in any case.
