The main disadvantages of glass bottles are the weight and the fact that they can break if dropped. They are also not as plentiful in the rural areas of developing countries where this process is being targeted at the household level. Another disadvantage is the lack of screw top lids found on plastic bottles. They are more difficult to cap and prevent leakage during the process.
