It's more "environmentally friendly" to use plastic over glass .
Glass takes a huge amount of energy to melt and form into new glass containers.
I have worked on projects in glass plants IRL - the amount of natural gas it takes to melt glass is ungodly !
Plastic is also lighter and requires far less fossil fuel to transport.
If you do the math, the amount of fossil fuel required to make and ship 1 glass bottle is far greater than the amount of ( fossil fuel + oil ) to make and ship 1 plastic bottle ( of the same volume ) .
