They’ve become quite common in the uk over the last year or so too.

I believe it’s intended to make the material easier to process for recycling. Something about very small pieces of plastic (like loose bottle caps) being tough to properly sort at the plant, so they wanted a way for them to stay with the bottle instead.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
