Has attracted the attention of environmental protection and recycling experts.
Many people say that if large-scale recycling is not economically feasiblemarketed.
Instead, they say, most of the cans will eventually be landfill or burned, increasing the burden on state-spilled dumps and potentially causing toxic emissions.
The test of cans re-sparked a debate that began in the 1970s s when plastic water bottles were introduced.
Plastic bottles now contain about 25% of the volume in all packaged soft drinks consumed in the country.
Many environmental activists and recycling departments believe that the increase in plastic containers comes at the expense of materials that are easier to recycle --
Glass and aluminum
It should be dealt with through legislation.
In New Jersey, for example, a proposed bill states that a deposit may be required if the recycling of plastic beverage containers has not improved.

Many environmental activists and recycling experts believe that the main obstacle to recycling plastic is the difficulty of collecting plastic.
Because the weight of the plastic is so small, it\'s only worth a few cents per pound, they say, it\'s impossible to accumulate enough money to pay back the shipping costs.
\"The Economics of collection is questionable,\" said Mary Hill, director of the New Jersey recycling office . \".
Although some materials, including glass and aluminum, were forcibly recycled in 180 towns in New Jersey, only two towns collected plastic, she said.
Another obstacle, some recycling experts say, is that it is difficult to separate different types of materials that are often used in the same container.
However, the plastics industry has set up a research institute at the University of Rutgers, State University of New Jersey, to look at how to improve recycling technology, which contradicts the belief that plastics cannot be easily reused.

No comparable figures for glass.
Some experts, such as Jerry Powell, editor of recycling magazine, predict that if plastic cans are widely accepted, pressure from the legislature to request recyclable bottles and cans will increase.
\"It may tilt the balance so that the deposit legislation is passed,\" he said . \".
Plastic containers that are not recycled are generally dumped in landfill sites or burned.
While most solid waste experts say plastic may not cause special problems in landfill sites, some say they are concerned that various plastics may emit toxic chemicals when they burn.
Plastic may also encounter objections from retailers as its shelf life is not as long as metal cans.
\"We know there are still many problems that need to be studied and solved,\" he said . \"
