End-of-life disposal
Polymer bottles in the US are most likely to be treated as municipal waste versus glass bottles which must be disposed of in a sharps container followed by autoclaving and landfilling. The resources for disposing of the polymer bottle are less demanding.
Packaging and Transport
Sensitivity to air freight, secondary packaging, and lower mass of the polymer bottles all contribute to fewer carbon emissions.
