Another symbolic act so that they can pretend they did something for the environment and don't have to actually tackle the major problems which could cut into profits of big companies.

Also anyone got fucked over by the bottle cap spinning in the way of the pour spilling drink all over the table?

No but I've had the "pull the cap away not realising it's attached and pull the bottle of milk out of my hand, sending it crashing to the floor" thing, that was fun

That's a genius move as well. Nicely done.

I literally made a video for my friends of that

sorry if it's a google photo link

I don’t even understand what the theory is. Plastic is plastic. What does it matter if it’s attached to the bottle?

Supposedly these would end up on the street or somewhere else outside of the waste processing system. So they want you to throw the cap out together with the bottle

You have to twist It so It stays in place

Yeah like the paper straws through a plastic lid. The part that gets chewed and wet with digestive enzymes is some limp paper yet the simple lid can be as plastic as they want.
