If the original measurement unit is maintained, producers would be encouraged to pack their beverages in a large number of small-capacity reusable packaging to increase the number of units of sales of beverage. This new measurement would facilitate the distribution, monitoring and communication for the manufacturers, as well as having a better environmental impact.
