In fact, the plastic replacements often cause more emissions. Because of production or because more trucks are needed for the same products with thicker packaging. Supermarket chain in my country changed their packaging, the same amount now needs 2 trucks instead of one.
Also glass bottles or cardboard are heavier so more fuel consumption.

Due potentially leaching melamine and formaldehyde... So I take it will take awhile for us to get these things right...
