just stop using plastic
Easy solution: only buy drinks in aluminum cans or glass bottles. World is already drowning in microplastic pollution.
In what way are they better for the environment? I'm confused
Bottle caps stay tethered to the bottles when bottles are taken in for recycling. They don’t end up on the ground.
Which is weird, since I have never seen anyone dispose of a screw-on lid improperly. It‘s always just the caps to glass bottles you see lying around.
That's the thing. I never saw plastic bottle caps on the ground because people want to close the bottle after use. It's only good for green washing.
The EU took an inventory of what kind of plastic ends up on beaches, bottle caps weren't the #1 offender but bottles were much rarer so it stands to reason that when you attach the caps to the bottles you get rid of a lot of plastics on beaches.
Wait, the rings of plastic bottle caps were also among the top ten? Who takes the time to pry off the ring and why would they do this to begin with? This feels like there‘s still a piece missing.
I'm so fucking tired.
It's estimated the fishing industry is losing around 400 metric tonnes of fishing gear into Norwegian waters every year.
Now we are punished for this by attaching the stupid caps to the bottles. Why are we not able to fix problems in this society hellbent for self destruction?
Why are every problem pushed down on the working class just wanting to enjoy a soda in this capitalistic hellscape.
Its the same with the paper straws while disposable electronic cigarettes are still allowed, which not only contain plastics, but also electronics and a rechargeable lithium cell.
All the while a reusable vape works just as well, while paper straws just suck and they even contain plastic as well.
I mean you can also get reusable metal straws the same as a reusable vape.
I think that little piece of plastic doesnt really make a huge impact, its not a lot of plastic and we have so many other places where we could guide manufacturers to include less plastic in packaging.
Its much more energy intensive to produce a disposable vape, they contain more plastic, the battery has to be produced and its unlikely they end up in electronics recycling, where they belong.
This is genuinely one of the most amazing inventions of the last decade. Now you never lose the cap and you don't have to hold it in your hand.
I can't believe anyone thinks this is not amazing.
I have cut my lips twice on these fuckers. Also just this week while pouring milk, the cap somehow slipped right under the stream and spilled the milk everywhere.
Who loses their bottlecap?
Also this makes it harder for kids to drink from bottles, since they can't put their whole mouth around.
I hate these shit stains with a passion.
I am 99% sure, thia was all just a PR stunt by some bottle company. If they really wanted to do something for the environment, they would go for glass bottles again, since they can be recycled forever.
You can bend them out of the way and they don't break off I find that really useful.
Especially for bottles and cartons that are poured into a glass.
Yes and if you bend them out of the way, some become sharp and I poured a carton of milk. So no, I to not like them.
To each their own except I have no (real) choice.
wtf, my muscle memory is impacted?! fuck the environment! /s
