Yeah I've often wondered about stuff like bringing back "the milkman" and other such things. People could put out their old glassware for cleaning/re-use and have fresh product delivered in a new container. Stores are already back to doing home delivery for groceries.

It'd also bring back a whole genre of bad jokes about parentage.

Up until the bridge was built PEI had reusable glass bottles for pop, it saved the cost of shipping trash back to the mainland by boat. So it is very much doable in modern Canada. If rolled out nation wide it could be sold as a system to other countries. Because you'll never get it done here unless there is some ROI other than 'we dont all die in a mountain of plastic.'
