Price is king. Everyone knows glass containers are better and consumers prefer them. However, shipping glass containers has a considerably higher cost than plastic from both a weight perspective as well as a fragility/loss perspective. That doesn't even factor in the cost of the glass containers themselves.
If someone invented a glass that was as cheap and light as plastic food suppliers would switch to it in a heartbeat.
What the world needs is glass foam that's strong enough that it won't break while shipping and smooth on both the outside and inside. Think: Glass foam with a Gorilla glass-like surface on both the outside and inside.
