Minnesota legislation for retail milk containers

The Minnesota legislature enacted a 1977 statute banning the retail sale of milk in plastic nonreturnable, nonrefillable containers but permitting such sale in other nonrefillable containers, such as paperboard milk cartons. Clover Leaf Creamery brought suit challenging the constitutionality of the statue under the Equal Protection Clause, alleging that there was no rational basis for the statute. The Minnesota legislature's purpose in passing the statute was to control solid waste, arguing that plastic containers take up more space in solid waste disposable dumps. The Minnesota Supreme Court found evidence to the contrary: The jugs took up less space and required less energy to produce. On appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, can the statue survive a constitutional challenge? Is there a 'rational basis' for the statute? What effect does the evidence to the contrary have on the statute's constitutionality? [Minnesota v Clover Leaf Creamery, 449 U.S. 456 (1981)]
