1. A glass pharmaceutical vial comprising:
a glass body comprising a sidewall enclosing an interior volume and an outer diameter D, wherein:
the outer diameter D of the glass body is greater than or equal to 84% and less than or equal to 116% of a diameter d1 of a glass vial of size designation X as defined by ISO 8362-1:2018, wherein X is a smallest size designation of 2R, 3R, 4R, 6R, 8R, 10R, 15R, 20R, 25R, 30R, 50R, and 100R, as defined by ISO 8362-1:2018, for which 116% of the diameter d1 is greater than or equal to D;
the sidewall of the glass pharmaceutical vial comprises an average wall thickness Ti that is less than or equal to 0.85*s1, wherein si is a wall thickness of the glass vial of size designation X as defined by ISO 8362-1:2018; and
the sidewall of the glass pharmaceutical vial having an average wall thickness Ti that is less than or equal to 0.85*s1 correlates to a reduction in an amount of CO2 emitted to produce the glass pharmaceutical vial of greater than or equal to 5%.
