What properties of glass are a problem in transporting food and drink?

Glass is fragile and prone to breaking, which poses a risk of injury and spillage during transportation. Its weight can also increase shipping costs and make handling more cumbersome. Additionally, glass is not as effective in insulating temperature, making it less ideal for maintaining the desired heat or cold of food and beverages. Lastly, glass containers can be less convenient due to their inability to be easily resealed after opening.
