mausmalone@matt huh ... I've never been to Europe so I didn't know about the connected cap thing.
At least now I know why the label in the US say s "replace cap and recycle." It never dawned on me that anybody ever threw the caps away separately.
Ged Maheux@mausmalone @matt Because we don’t. I’ve never seen anyone not replace the cap when we throw away a bottle. I mean it must happen if they made a regulation for it but… never been my experience with screw caps.
Geoff 🏴@gedeonm @mausmalone @matt For a good few years here the plastic in the bottle was recycleable, but the cap wasn't, so we had to remove them. Particularly annoying as you can't use the vacuum pressure to keep the bottle squished flat and save space.

Wait, we don’t have to do that anymore? I didn’t get the memo and am still throwing them out separately.

@Susibryant @gedeonm @mausmalone @matt Entirely depends on your local authority here, and how they process the recycling.
@_thegeoff @Susibryant @gedeonm @matt I think if the label says "replace cap and recycle" that really only means the cap is also made of PET plastic (type 1 in the US).

Thank you both for replying. They do say to replace the cap and recycle, in very small letters I would never have seen if not looking for them.
