Glass is incredible carbon intensive to make, and takes practically forever to break down. It's also fragile.

- macintux 4y agoAnd I don't know the economics for making it not so, but it's quite dangerous when it breaks. Not something I want around food (barring glassware that's not particularly fragile).
- hanniabu 4y agoDoesn't matter if it takes forever to break down, glass is inert and nontoxic
- oyashirochama 4y agoGlass literally becomes sand after not too long in the environment. It's energy intensive but so is aluminum processing from bauxite and several levels above it. Both are really good at reusability though, also on that front aluminum does just as good at not breaking down.
