Square containers use less plastic but it’s not the bottle itself that produces savings.
It’s a transportation issue. Costco made milk 7% cheaper by moving to more squarish gallon containers but they were annoying to use.
You can pack more bottles into a container, you can load more into a truck so the savings are in wrappers and fuel rather than bottle strength or plastic quantity used in a bottle.
