The collision of glass with a wall is inelastic because kinetic energy is not conserved.
Neither the wall, nor the glass can flex to absorb or redirect the force of impact. Neither material is elastic.
Compare that image to a rubber ball hitting a wall to visualize the difference.

Collisions between gas particles and between particles and the container walls are elastic collisions . An elastic collision is one in which there is no overall loss of kinetic energy.
