    The cap regulation is an example of good regulations. It creates almost no additional costs, once the initial transition is completed (for which also sufficient time was provided) and it saves a fortune in waste related costs, especially regarding waste at the beach and in forests. And all those memes how functionality is negatively affected, comes from people not willing or incapable of figuring out something as simple as how to use the new caps correctly.

    And those who say one cannot regulate this while staying competitive or at the edge of technology are talking nonsense. It has nothing to do with that, at all.

      There are some bottle manufacturers who trying to skip on costs, make the attachment so short it’s difficult to securely close them so they don’t leak.

      I just snap them off and close them but its more difficult for older persons, especially women.

        I’ve never had that problem so far. While there are quality differences, so far all of them had been functional. But in any case, there is competition, one choose products based on product quality.
