Coke in the new bottle bag - Is this a good thing?

I'm not sure what to think about this.
Biodegradable is good, but I'd like to see a more thorough environmental impact assessment. Do these bags suck up more resources to make than regular bags?
Mostly the obsession with brand marketing (although, be it green tinted) makes me a little nauseous.

I'm not impressed with this at all. What Coke is doing is subverting a regulation intended to reduce litter (bottle deposits) in a way that produces more litter (plastic bags) while also finding yet another surface to plaster with their logo. And I am supposed to confuse that with environmentalism?

@wormwood. I don't for one second think that Coca Cola is doing this for environmental reasons, but plastic bottles were never an issue. Coca Cola is, and has been, selling their product in reusable glass bottles. Customers don't want to pay the deposit on the glass bottle (or bother bringing the bottle back), and that's where plastic enters the picture.

It will be a failure unless they are free. If they are free other drinks besides coke will be served in them. They fail to understand the purpose of drinks in bags is to save money.

What wormwood said was right.

Pretty safe to assume that they are free to customers. ..maybe the same price, perhaps free, to store owners.
..and perhaps I missed wormword's point. Glass bottles, at least in Central America, have nothing to do with government imposed environmental regulations.

Are you denying that the bottles have a deposit on them?
