Reply to comment by Scruffy42 in TIL that the EU forces soda makers to introduce tethered caps to make sure they are being recycled. by memeiel

The old style cap design already left a ring behind of the same plastic as the cap. as they seem to have handled that, keeping the cap itself attached seems like it would be a minor change.
