Why Choose Glass Over Plastic?

 

1. Glass is better for the Earth

  • Plastic production releases toxic chemicals into the air
  • Plastic is a form of pollution that affects our environment
  • Recycling glass is cost-efficient and can be reused. -> Recycled glass uses 40% less energy than manufacturing new glass, and up to 80% of all recycled glass can be recycled.  Not all plastic can be recycled; only 6.8% of the total plastic in the world is recycled.

2. Glass is safer for the environment

  • In plastic, toxic chemicals may transfer from the container to the food inside the container.
  • Glass does not transfer any toxic chemicals from the container to the food inside.

3. Glass is durable

  • Unless dropped, glass lasts a long time without scratches or discoloration.
  • Plastic containers will start showing wear on them, while glass will last for a lifetime!

4. Glass is easier to clean

  • Plastic will melt and transfer harmful chemicals while in the dishwasher.
  • Glass can easily be cleaned and sanitized at high temperatures.

5. Glass can be heated

  • Glass can be heated with no damage to the jar or any transferring of harmful chemicals.
  • Plastic will melt and transfer harmful chemicals and makes it impossible to heat up safely.
