It works by applied statistics.

When you littered before - with the old cap - you’d have two pieces of plastic, now they are connected and it’s only one piece.

I’m only mildy annoyed by the new lids and got used to them, but it’s the bottle cap regulation is one of those that’s purely better for statistics.

It reduces littering by bottles to around half, just because we count the pieces differently now.

Maybe we should better just start taxing by the amount of plastic used in food packaging, as a lot of the packages get bigger and bigger just to display the contents more visibility.
