How exactly does it “reduce” waste. The bottle is still plastic. The cap is still there. Now there’s a bit more plastic being used per bottle. Yay.

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.

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.

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.
