i am no expert, but i would assume that a big part of the issue is likely cost. if you were a bottler and a bio bottle cost say $0.10 more and made your shelf price higher then i'd imagine most bottlers would opt for the least cost alternative.
i agree that many items seem overpackaged, and in some cases you need to almost destroy the package to get the item. I hate when I do that and then wind up returning the item.
my other comment is how the labels of some items are very hard to get off to properly recycle the item.

You're telling me with all the tech we have there is no replacement for a plastic bottle that never biodegrades?
