In Rwanda, glass vials are sterilized and re-used as recipients for urine samples from patients. It's the best solution that I've seen and encourage other countries to follow suit! The downside of course is the need for some sort of autoclave or steam sterilizer so it might only be an appropriate form of waste processing at regional or district level facilities.
