minus-square@jordanlundlink2•8 months agoProblem: It’s a different kind of plastic from the bottle and isn’t recyclable. So it’s going to need to be cut off the bottle anyway. :( https://www.rd.com/article/keep-caps-on-bottles-when-recycling/ https://www.mcgill.ca/oss/article/you-asked/can-plastic-caps-water-or-soda-bottles-be-recycled
minus-square@Uriel_Copylink2•8 months agoI was under the impression that for these tethered caps, they use a recyclable plastic for the caps, hence the tether. Though it is just an assumption. Just looked at one I had in the recycling. The bottle is PET and the cap is PEHD
