9. A Long Lifespan

The problem of plastics polluting the environment is well known. One of the main problems with plastics is that it can take a hundred years before it biodegrades. It takes even longer for glass to break down, however. Indeed, it will take around 1 million years for it to happen, meaning your milk bottles might end up being around for a long, long time.

This is obviously not a good thing when it comes to polluting our planet, but at least glass is not toxic. It essentially remains as the same substance it was before it was made. Glass is also fully recyclable, to you can also do your bit by taking your empties to your local recycling center.
