Glass bottles, since they are entirely chemically neutral, are better if you are worried about either chemical reactions or about chemicals from plastic leaching into your food or drink.
If it is the environment's health you are concerned about, both are equally recyclable, though glass is superior in this aspect as well, since plastic is largely made from petroleum products.
However, if you are concerned about safety and portability, plastic is better, especially when giving bottles to small children to hold, as glass is breakable. Glass is also prone to shattering under rapid temperature changes, such as pouring hot tea over a glass full of ice cubes to make iced tea. (Tempered glass such as Pyrex, of which glass cooking ware is made, does not have this problem, however.) The question of safety in using plastic bottles , especially infant formula bottles, has come about because of worldwide attention to substances like bisphenol-A being used in the manufacture of these as part of their plastic, and also as mold releasers so these bottles don't stick in the metal molds. Canada and some European countries have already banned this substance in the production of these products. Current recommendations are to at least avoid plastic bottles with the number "7" stamped on the bottom. Stainless steel bottles and most products from Nalgene seem to be safer alternatives, as would be glass with plastic safety sleeves around them.
Yes, electricity can pass through a glass bottle with a plastic cap if the bottle is filled with a conductive liquid (like water) that allows the flow of electric current. The glass and plastic materials act as insulators, but the conductive liquid inside the bottle enables the electricity to pass through.
Yes, a plastic cup is generally lighter than a glass cup because plastic is less dense than glass. This means that a plastic cup will weigh less than a glass cup of the same size.
Ballons are made of an elastic plastic while a bottle in a harder plastic
No polycarbonate plastic and acrylic plastic make a better replacement for glass than vinyl. There are also some applications for which nothing replaces real glass.
Heat will travel faster through a glass cup than a plastic cup because glass is a better conductor of heat than plastic. This means that heat will transfer more quickly through the glass, making it heat up or cool down faster compared to the plastic cup.
Beer Is Stored In A Glass Bottle Because, If You Stored It In Plastic You Could Taste A Plastic Taste Off It And Also Glass Get Colder Quiker Than Plastic.
I would say glass. Glass is nonporous and easily cleaned and disinfected. Plastic is soft and the molecules making up the plastic bottle may leach into the water.
plastic is cheaper than some other materials and it keeps the fluid in it fresh
simple! We can use glass bottles because it can be recycled

plastic is cheaper than most items because it is a well sold item.
No way to tell. A glass bottle will be heavier than a plastic bottle. Only thing that can be said is that the water that'll fit inside will weigh darn close to one kilo.
Yes, a plastic cup is generally lighter than a glass cup because plastic is less dense than glass. This means that a plastic cup will weigh less than a glass cup of the same size.
Drinks would stay cooler for a longer time if it is in a bottle. This is because bottles are insulators of heat. So they slow down the heat from reaching the liquid in it. As in cans, which are metal, they are conductors of heat. So heat penetrates easier to the liquid thus making the drink to loose it's coldness faster. So my bet is that drinks stay cooler in a bottle.

Some plastic is non-biodegradable, in the sense that it takes longer than several lifetimes for the plastic to disintegrate. A glass bottle is essentially non-biodegradable.
