Default Is tin or plastic more eco-friendly/green?

I need to buy packaging for body products and am wondering what is more eco-friendly.. tin or plastic. In production and terms of recycling, is one better than the other?Or, does anyone know wholesale suppliers of recycled or eco-friendly bottle/jar packaging (google did not help much).Thanks!

I don't know what you mean by "body products", but you should be aware that different plastics have different perm-ratings, that is, a different permeability to gases. This might make a difference if you need containers that are fully air-tight.

both are equally recycleable. plastic can be used to store small things like pens and more tin can be used to store water and oil. keep recycling!
