Yes but glass is heavy and it pollutes through externalities (transport + melting). I like aluminium better but the liners contain BPA or replacements, so glass is still the most sensible option.

During communism there was a lot of glass recycling being done in my country. Glasses and jars were standardised, meaning there were few modles in circulation and one could clean off the labels and take them to a recycling centre and collect a few pennies for evey item.
