Plastic bottle tops

[Jofang]

We have a recent new rule here in France that all plastic bottle tops must be attached to the bottle and cannot be removed without cutting the securing device. I hope the rest of the world now acknowledges this earth shattering invention that will solve the world's plastic waste contamination as their milk now spills all over the table instead of landing on their cornflakes.

It’s not gonna solve much make them biodegradable or is that beyond mans ability.

All the stuff in the world to moan about....and it's little plastic caps on bottles. Priceless

What about wearing one of those little rubber things on your d...?

A choice of so many positions the lid could be in and he puts it up his nose, how clever is that

I think it’s meant to be a joke

Scissors!

that's what I use

Beats me why they have also started to secure the plastic caps that are attached to paper (juice etc) cartons too. Paper and plastic are recycled separately where I live.

the whole lot goes in the same container here. cans, plastic bottles with lids, tetra packs with lids pringle containers all the same

Why not just ban plastic bottles? I know, we could make them from glass, have deposits on them and re-use them just by washing them. Radical or what?

Why not just ban selling bottled water at all but make in mandatory to have refilling places for people taking their own bottles.

Well there already are such places in certain locations which is handy if you happen to be near one, but totally banning bottled water sales is just a mega over reaction to a minuscule issue in the grand scheme of things surely.

First encountered these in Greece back in January. It seems they've been around quite a while. I just snap the lid off first time I open it.

Just another example of nanny state policies

They irritated me initially but I'm quite used to them now. In fact, I think I may prefer them. You can still drink out of the bottle - just need to click the cap far enough back.

I can't say in my entire life that I have ever binned a bottle without the lid on it. It seems a fairly natural instinct to put the lid back on . Usually after I've loosened it squashed the bottle then tightened the lid to keep it squashed.

Don't need a stupid bit plastic to keep the lid on .
