    Did you drop the /s? Because that’s not how that works. The bigger the container the better the volume to packaging ratio

      I know that’s not how it technically works, but nowadays a lot of companies introduce smaller bottles at the same price as before, claiming they’re reducing plastic use by X%. What they don’t mention is that you’re still paying the same price for less product. So while a bigger container might be more efficient in terms of packaging-to-volume ratio, that logic often gets tossed out when marketing wants to spin “less for the same” as an eco-friendly move.
