this is what Im buying all the time :D
Fun(I mean serious) fact: Emissions are increased with glass due to weight/volumne and production cost. But the unknown health concerns and problematic to nature outweighs that imo. Plus even well recycling countries export their plastic which then ends up in nature, just not on our responsibility
Yes, glass's weight and fragility are real problems. This is why I try to repurpose my empty glass jars for other things as much as possible and get more life outta them.
still packaging and transport is like a percent each from the above 20% in the food sector emissions... so I wouldnt feel too bad for recycling glass containers
if anything I feel better with less microplastics in my regular intake and having avoided that plastic wrapping suffocating the last couple animals
