You are probably right. I used the word waste as in wasted, but what this solves is trash. Doesn't really matter which bin it goes in for this to work.
Yeah except it’s 2 different plastic types that have to be separated before any recycling is done. Performative bullshit. Meanwhile Europe is infested with roaches that need to be exterminated.
Separating the 2 materials is rather easy and already done in recycling plants. The bottle gets shredded and the chunks separated. The difference is that the cap doesn't get into the environment.
Yes they are different plastics but the caps can easily be lost and not accounted for if not connected. The 2 types of plastic are easily seperated when recycling because they make it connected. The only performative bullshit is you.
Yes. Bottle lids were the one of the most common types of plastic found washed up on beach shores. They did in fact get lost everywhere, and the legislation was effective in reducing plastic waste in the environment.

Plastic is not waste here, it's a recyclable resource. The issue has been that bottle caps wouldn't get recycled with the bottles. Now they do.
