PET bottles in Czechia to all have attached caps by next year

All PET bottles in Czechia will have to have attached caps by July 2024 at the latest, according to a new piece of legislation which comes from the EU's directive on single-use plastics. The obligation will also apply to composite packaging such as tetrapack cartons for juice. The idea is to make it easier and more likely that the cap will be recycled along with the bottle. According to a survey of beverage manufacturers, thirteen percent of PET bottles are currently returned without caps.
