The seemingly simple medical packaging material replacement problem is not simple, why the cheap and functional medical glass infusion bottle is rejected? The root cause is driven by the economic interests of the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain. The dispute between plastic packaging and glass packaging is a struggle between strong and weak between pharmaceutical enterprises and glass packaging enterprises.

They suggested that the use of plastic infusion bottles (bags) should be restricted in the medical insurance and new rural medical drug procurement catalogue, the cost of drug packaging should be strictly controlled, and the premise of fair competition for enterprises producing glass infusion bottles should be created, and the glass bottle packaging with high quality and low price should be the first choice of government procurement.
