this might fly in the Germanic countries (sans England), but in most Western countries the corporate pushback would be far too high.
even if long-term it would be cheaper, businesses a) don't like change, and b) don't like being restricted in any way whatsoever. imagine how hard coca-cola would lobby to keep using their classic bottle design. imagine how easy it would be for the corporate-owned press to sell this as Sovietism reborn or some other such nonsense

But the great thing about having standard bottles is one corporation can’t “cheat” and have a more unique bottle. So its fair for all companies. Also standard bottles doesn’t mean they cant put labels on the bottles. They can promote their product still on the label attached to the bottle.
