Won't it be simpler to make it into a tottle with a regular flip-top??
That way, any product that settles at the bottom comes out FROM the bottom.
Another way of looking at it is: you are tryin to remove the last 2ml of product by adding a screw-on cap, a non-return valve & a spout?

This is a great innovation and admittedly, if you accumulate all the empty containers of liquids you used for the past couple of years, I think it can fill a good 250 ml. The design looks appealing, too. In a sense, it can be considered as a bathroom vanity and it's functionality is a plus plus plus!

nice idea… but having a tube going from bottom to top leaves a residue in the tube which can't be pumped out. simple bottle that you open up at the end and dilute the remains with a little bottle empties it. original solution. best solution. this idea is wasteful in manufacturing and content.

A much simpler design is to design it as a two part system. Bottle would be ovoid, then set in an egg cup shell. Similar results, less packaging…thus solving both issues.

This will never happen. It would cost companies MORE money (good bit of extra plastic at the bottom) to give us a few extra uses out of their product. So they are paying for us to buy their product less often, on average. Plus, this isn't a big enough issue for people to actually care about it.

These are clearly mock ups to show the product's feature, not permanent bottles you keep around the house. Anything relating to the short comings of glass don't need to be worried about.

I'm not sold on the evil corporations trying to rob us of milliliters either. Who isn't unscrewing the lid, letting a little bit of water in and swishing it out anyways? It takes like eight seconds, worth the time for sure.

It's a decent idea, something a company wanting to go/seem green might go for, with a very small manufacturing change.

Technically, manufacturers wouldnt have a problem making it since bottles are made as two halves of a whole to begin with then fused together. Also, from a marketing standpoint, businesses could pitch this as less wasteful and more cost effective for the consumer. They'd eat it up ignoring the fact they're spending more in the process and companies would still benefit in the long run
