How It's Made examines blow-moulding of glass bottles. Surprised to note that glass is cheaper and uses less energy to manufacture than either metal or plastic containers.

That's the coolest factory I've seen on this show. Who designs these things? I want that job.

manufacturing and recycling may have less of an environmental impact than other packaging options, but looking at the entire life cycle of the product you have to realize that there are more stages to the overall life cycle of the product. consider how much more energy is wasted transporting the bottles (full of their product or empty ones to the recycling plant), since they are more fragile and weigh more than their plastic counterpart much more energy goes into transport.

Im not saying it's less environmentally friendly, but people need to look at the big picture instead of saying 'my prius uses less gas than your hummer.'
