#2>Coca-Cola has used the new generation of codes in parts of Latin America for refillable bottles, with the QR code allowing the counting of refills so that a requirement of 25 before recycling can be enforced.
More tracking!

My congratulations to all local entrepreneurs who are gearing up their printers to print "replacement" QR codes to put over the existing ones, once the 25-refill limit is reach.

presumably the QR code is just an ID and the actual counting is done on a server, so there's not much room for "replacement" qr codes

#5How much data can the code store? I doubt it will contain all of that information, but rather, a URL. Like the other post said, more tracking!

It could be an ID in the central database, or jwt-style signed token. More crypto-punk stuff ;) (not related to cryptocurrency). "Valid bottle" sounds funny

Reminds me of the RFID tags used to limit refills - https://www.validfill.com/solutions#overview

Much more than the 1D barcode.

Unique codes will finally allow the implementation of "drink verification can to continue" with validation that the user hasn't reused a previously scanned can

After careful consideration I've decided that I'm more concerned with the waste and pollution caused by single-use plastics than I am the privacy rights of polyethylene bottles.
