It’s supposed to help with littering, not recycling. And I’ve never once seen a water bottle company advertise an attached lid as some sort of ground breaking benefit for the environment.

crt0o@discuss.tchncs.de 18 hours agoI know it’s supposed to help with recycling, the issue is that it fails to address the core of the problem. Instead of actually doing something about plastic waste, they change the bottle design a little, someone probably makes a shitload of money off that, and everyone is happy, but in reality nothing of substance has actually been done. They offer us these pathetic compromises and we are stupid enough to be satisfied with them.

That’s not about companies doing something, it’s just a new law

No it does very much so solve the problem it was meant to solve: to stop caps from becoming litter!

What do you think happens to bottles after you throw them in the trash? They get shipped off to some landfill where they’re buried and forgotten about, that’s just littering with extra steps.

I am starting to think that you are very young, Lemmy is not supposed to be used by underage ppl! Yes yes yes, no one can stop you realistically but please consider why such a rule would be made! Not because Lemmy’s servers just cannot handle all the users…
Litter means rubbish in publics non-designated areas! If you want to use a word not for its conventional meaning, and if you wanted others to understand you for whatever reason, you start off with a definition

So trash in nature is ok as long as you don’t see it?
Anyways, it seems you are far more intelligent and knowledgeable than me, so it probably doesn’t make sense to debate you since I will lose either way…

In the Netherlands plastic waste is mostly burned, I believe.
