Glass is heavier than plastic, but I suppose someone might develop

They already did, the small thin bottles used for continental style
beer in supermarkets being an example.

OK. That still leaves the weight issue, although I'd be in favour of
banning plastic bottles either way.


Cheaper, lighter, safer. The problem is not the bottles, it is the
people who don't take care disposing of them.

Banning the sale of bottled water would be a good way to save some of
the environment.
It really isn't needed.

Most isn't. The same is true of coke, fizy orange & all the other soft drinks. I think you'd have an uphill job banning them all.
