They seem to be working on that too[0]. In the article they mention both glass and plastic bottles. As far as I understand, reusable plastic bottles are more environment friendly than glass ones, because they require less resources to make and transport.

Note that the article title claims Coca Cola to be 'industry leading', but I do not think reusing plastic bottles is new? I remember returning plastic bottles to the supermarket back when I was a kid ~20 years ago, and I believe the higher quality plastic bottles were collected to be re-used not re-cycled.
