@sarahflyingsolo: Here’s why they’re used: * They reduce litter. Bottle caps are one of the most commonly found plastic items on beaches and in waterways. Keeping the cap attached makes it less likely to be dropped separately. * They improve recycling. When the cap stays with the bottle, both are more likely to be collected and recycled together. * They help meet environmental goals. Since July 2024, many plastic beverage containers sold in the EU are required to have caps that remain attached during use. #budapesthungary #euroculture #eurotrip #budapest #solotraveler
