Of course! Different animists have different views, as it is not a dogmatic belief.
I myself believe not only sentient creatures possesses some kind of spiritual essence, but also plants, natural phenomena, and even some rocks and places.
My instinct is to respect nature not only because I am part of it, but also because I am interacting with other creatures and they have as much a right to life as I do.
Therefore, a product should never be treated as scrap or useless remains, but honoured and valued until that object cannot be used anymore.
