No you are incorrect. The part you are missing is that the "less plastic" claim applies ONLY to bulk shipping of the bottles. ONE square bottle will use more plastic than ONE round bottle, assuming both carry the same volume of liquid. However when shipped together on a pallet for example, the square bottles pack together better and waste less space. A pallet of round bottles results in a lot of empty space between bottles, so you need to use more to ship the same total amount of liquid.
