The Advantage of Glass Bottles Over the Plastic Ones
The environmental concerns of the world we are living in have determined the replacement of glass with other recyclable materials. The most relevant case is the replacement of glass bottles with plastic pets; the latter have the advantage of being a lot lighter, easier to manufacture and to recycle, not to mention that the costs of plastic are infinitely lower than those of glass. Hence, little by little the use of glass bottles has entered a descending path; nevertheless, they cannot be eliminated from the storing or packaging process of many types of goods. Yes, Coke-Cola or Pepsi can be bottled in pets, milk can be sold in cartons, and beer in tin cans, but a good Bordeaux wine will never be stored in plastic.
The advantage of glass bottles over the plastic ones is the quality of the material. Despite the long-use tradition, glass has the purity of structure that makes any interaction with the stored liquid impossible. Plastic on the other hand is known to alter the properties of certain beverages because of the chemical reactions that appear in time between the artificial structure and the possible acids in the beverage. Whiskey, wine, vodka or any other kind of alcoholic drink any better stored in glass bottles than in any other type of container.
Glass bottles also have the great advantage of preserving a certain temperature for a longer period of time. They do not dilate when it is too warm or shrink when exposed to lower temperatures. Depending on the type of beverage they store, glass bottles can be thicker or thinner. Large international companies that are considered brand names, usually have customized, possibly etched glass bottles. This is usually the case with whiskey brands like Jack Daniel’s, Jim Bean, Teacher’s and so on. Such glass bottles are usually thicker than those used for wine storing, as wine manufacturers mainly choose slender looking models that suggest taste refinement.
The recycling of glass bottles is required by law, and the separation of the glass residues in households is essential for the process. Glass bottles do not affect the structure of the environment by their chemical composition, their only problem comes from the fact that they remain in the same form for millions of years, there will actually be no change in their structure. The necessity of recycling comes from the fact that a huge quantity of glass bottles are produced and deposited as garbage every year, which only leads to an overwhelmingly high pressure on the environment.
