Urgh no and they doesn't help with the issue of there being a big lump just hanging awkwardly off the side of the bottle.
Oh nos, a smaller lump of plastic hanging off a larger lump of plastic. How distressing.

It's normally healthy stuff that says that so it's not that often.

The point is, it's a change that doesn't solve a problem and makes thinks more awkward, just so companies that churn out God knows how much plastic a year can say they are doing something green without actually doing anything green, and loads of people are lining up to defend it. Well I'm not going to be one of them.Oh nos, a smaller lump of plastic hanging off a larger lump of plastic. How distressing.

Not sure it companies "green washing" as its an eu directive. (I know we've "taken back control" but it seems we've inherited this one.)

The maddening new plastic bottle lids are ruining our lives for a good reason
Drinking from a bottle seems to have suddenly become a struggle, thanks to caps that remain attached. But this annoying development is rooted in the battle against plastic waste, Katie Rosseinsky discovers

I'm sure they really hated the idea and didn't at all find it better than using less plastic.Not sure it companies "green washing" as its an eu directive. (I know we've "taken back control" but it seems we've inherited this one.)

Plastic recycling is scam thought up by plastic companies to sound greener and this is similar. Proper rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic stuff.
I'll agree with you there, the green washing stuff and over use of plastic. I wondered what happened to corn plastic. It's probably bad in several ways I haven't looked into but apparently was / is bio degradable. I used to get smoothies from one place that used them and asked cos I felt bad about the wastage.
Just checked. apparently only biodegradable in high temprature composting systems, can't just chuck it in with your spud pealings.

Maybe if there were less arseholes who can't be arsed to put their lids in the bin, there wouldn't be any need for them.

Totally.
Their solution is not to use less plastic, but to use the same amount of plastic and stick the pieces together!

The only times I'm likely to be drinking out of a bottle is when out and about.

You can still rip these lids off you know. They just make it harder now. Just twist and pull them a bit more innit.

The anti PC brigade went woke when they started going on about defunding the police.

And you end up wearing the drink when the lid eventually parts company with the bottle.

I think xenon must still be working through pandemic stock.
Well this was the last plastic bottle of drink I bought. The smaller fruit juice ones are not dissimilar.

The kind of derelict who has no compunction about littering the place with bottle caps will have no problem with just dropping the whole bottle. Affixing the cap does nothing to prevent microplastic pollution, since plastic particles constantly detach themselves from litter regardless of the size of the originating piece. If we want to reduce the amount of plastic in the environment, then we should stop producing so much of the damn stuff in the first place.

ah no that's different - that one's still got the top on
I learned today that you're not supposed to reuse single-use plastics which is a bit of a shame since I use coke-type bottles for home brew.

If Mr Peanut says It's okay, then it is.
Do you open all your drinks like you've just won formula one?
It's simple, take a wee drink then remove the lid.
I recommend everyone read the last page to the sound of the haribo voices

Was this ever a thing? Did people remove their bottle cap and discard it before emptying the bottle? I'm sure there may have been the odd dick doing it but permanently connecting the cap to the bottle won't stop dicks from being dicks.
The only purpose this serves is to keep the wheels of Brussels oiled, keeping useless people in overpaid jobs.
