Do people have an issue of losing the cap to their water?

No, it was an issue where people wouldnt recycle the pieces together.

Edit: It is incredibly fucking annoying to drink from now too

See that‘s the point I never got: Who tf does not keep them together? Like the cap‘s on the bottle, you remove it to drink/pour the liquid into a different container and put the cap back on. Why would I ever separate the bottle from the cap?

Stupid people need additional features so their stupidity doesn't prevail. Why do you think there is a note on bleach that one shouldn't drink it?

Its more that stupid people think attaching a bottle cap to a bottle is a positive move in the right direction and will now allow themselves to continue their unchecked consumption guilt-free. Plastic recycling owes its very roots to this sort of empty gesture so it's hardly surprising.

I swear that use to be the requirement to recycle them; remove the cap and cut off the tamper evident seal ring because they were made of dissimilar plastics and the caps weren't accepted.

Now I'm pretty sure everything goes through a massive shredder and is sorted with magnetism, eddy currants, and an optical system with air jets to seperate chunks.
