Tbh why is this even a news article? Like: I ANNOUNCE TO THE WORLD I MADE SOME BREAD FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER IN HISTORY.
I guess its a different culture.

I have not yet read the article, but I initially understood that the thickness of the bottles, and thus plastic used, has decreased. This would be a win for use-and-trash water bottles like for restaurants or tourist spots, because it would reduce pricing and pollution.
because it would reduce pricing and pollution.
I will doubt the reduced price will get to the buyer. And if i am honest 1 time bottles should be reduced at all and rather moved to multi use thicker hard plastic bottles, that can be reused multiple times.
Your points are well intended but irrelevant to the article. This is a breakthrough for plastic bottles that has the effect of reducing company cost and environment impact; even if the company agreed with your points, following them would lead to a bankruptcy.
Don't think that they reduce the price, just slightly less pollutant
