Companies will look forward to using this, since it means that products (eg: toothpaste) will run out faster (probably due to people using more when it slips out easier), producing more demand.
- sparky_z 10y agoWouldn't it be just the opposite? If, say, 5% of the ketchup is currently left in the bottle when it's thrown away, that means customers who buy the new bottles will get 5% more usable ketchup for their money. As long as they're careful when pouring, they would have to buy new bottles less often.
- flueedo 10y agoI would imagine that in the sense of "usable product" for costumers, things will level out somehow. But waste would certainly be lessened within certain steps of production. For example, sometimes you have containers used for long distance transportation, which you can't remove all of a product from, and you have to wash in between refillings.
