Trivial Glass recyclers can make but not recycle vials

[warcrimes]

I mean, it's not like you wouldn't know you were fighting someone near a chem dispenser. TBH I don't see any reason why beakers and cups and such shouldn't be functionally the same

They're extra sturdy glass, clearly. How do you think they contain all those acids and pyrotechnic chemicals?

yeah if you're going by actual function, glassware is soda glass, beakers are borosilicate and are actually really hard to shatter and for good reason. they can actually be cut fairly easilly with abrasive wheels without exploding.
