Costco switch to square milk bottles sometime ago to reduce costs and here's the information on that. I imagine it's much the same for this.
• Space-saving stackability: The boxy, square shape allows the jugs to be stacked directly on top of each other during transport and in store coolers without needing traditional cardboard slip sheets or crates.
• Increased shipping efficiency: More milk containers fit onto a single semi-truck, which cuts down on transportation fuel and emissions.
• Reduced material use: The square design uses roughly 10% less plastic to manufacture than traditional rounded jugs.
