The EU enacted a new law a while ago that all bottle caps should remain attached to the bottle, to combat plastic trash.

All the bottle and packaging makers, from massive multinationals like Coca Cola and fucking Nestlé to small local producers invested in the development of new caps, changing their production lines, and shipping the new caps. Today, a month before the law goes into effect, it's basically impossible to find a bottle without an attached cap.

I don't know, I thought this story was weirdly relevant right now with Apple being a whiny bitch. Imagine being worse than Coca Cola and motherfucking Nestlé.

@thomholwerda oh i didn't even know it wasn't in effect yet. kinda puts some perspective on the whole "where did this suddenly come from"-talk in tech circles back when the GDPR came into effect (after like, two years of it being adopted so everyone had time to implement it) 🙈
