New Obligations On Plastic Bottles
A plastic bottle with ''tethered cap'' and an EU (European Union) flag displayed on a screen on background are seen in L'Aquila, Italy, on July 2nd, 2024. Starting from Wednesday, July 3rd, the European mandate comes into effect requiring the sale of plastic beverage containers with caps designed to stay attached to the container by a hinge, the so-called 'tethered cap'. This name is used because it prevents the cap from being discarded into the environment and is intended to encourage consumers to recycle it along with the bottle. (Photo by Lorenzo Di Cola/NurPhoto)
