Plastic is also much lighter than glass, a benefit consumers who are prone to buy in bulk greatly appreciate.
Plastic has some benefits other materials generally believed to be eco-friendly, glass to name one, lack. While both materials can be recycled, in reality over forty percent of the plastic made is recycled every year, while only twenty percent of the glass containers are recycled. One of the biggest benefits of plastic is its flexibility. Additionally, plastic packaging generally takes up less space than glass, allowing more products to be stored within the same room.
