With an estimated 14 billion single-use plastic bottles used each year by UK consumers, the challenge is sizeable. The problem is compounded when taking into account the estimated 14 million plastic bottles that are not recycled on a daily basis.<\/p>\n<p>As bottle caps are frequently ingested by many mammals, birds and sea life, reducing their pollution is vital to avoid potential losses of biodiversity. Caps have also been found to leave microplastics when left in the environment, which may then be present within human food sources, such as seafood, further down the line. Attempts to create \u2018designer\u2019 reusable bottles have been attempted by companies such as Evian through their 2020 collaboration with the late fashion designer Virgil Abloh. However, in order to make these effective in preventing the littering of bottle caps, ideas like this need to be made more accessible and brought into the mainstream.<\/p>\n<p>Many other manufacturers have also focused primarily on the bottles. Following a trial period in April 2018, Highland Spring made its \u2018eco bottle\u2019 a permanent fixture of its range the following year. The bottle itself is made from 100 per cent recycled plastic \u2013 whilst the company makes it clear that the cap is not created from recycled plastic, both the bottle and the cap are recyclable. Meanwhile, some companies are trying to remove the plastic packaging altogether, which would be an ideal end goal to reduce our mounting plastic waste; Lucozade Sport trialled edible packaging at sports events in August 2018, although it is not yet available to the mass market.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/resource.co\/article\/solutions-recycling-plastic-bottle-caps\">Resource<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/1-381\/\">Solutions for recycling plastic bottle caps<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[11072,575,7634,764],"class_list":["post-116104","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-bottle-cap","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-plastic-bottle","tag-recycling"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116104","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=116104"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116104\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=116104"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=116104"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=116104"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
