I think the point was, you’re removing plastic from plastic to recycle plastic. The plastic you removed won’t be recycled. So…what’s the point? It’s terrible package design.
The plastic you’re removing can’t be recycled. if left on the bottle, some recycling centers (maybe most actually) just throw out the bottle because it’s more cost effective then preparing the bottle for recycling.
Any and all plastic bottles experience this problem (plastic bottle caps are bad too). This is a company making it more likely your bottle will be recycled, by making it easier to remove the non recyclable materials.
In a world where ‘more brands = more freedom’ for some reason companies just compete on fancy packaging, and we support by buying them (bcs of lack of alternatives).
We don’t need oil based plastics at all, only if we let the market innovate.

Yes.
They don’t recycle even the recyclable part or alternatively the unrecyclable part gets burned off in the process (both bad options).
