Advantages of Plastic Glasses


Broken Glass

• Broken glasses need to be replaced on a regular basis and this can be expensive.
• Broken glass is sharpe and needs to be cleaned up. It can be a safety hazard if left on the floor.
• Glass, broken or otherwise can be used as a weapon.

Surveys have shown that most glass broken in pubs and nightclubs is knocked from a table or dropped from around waist height. * Test carried out by Surrey University show the durability polycarbonate and other forms of plastic glass.
