Why Does Europe Tether Bottle Caps โ€” and India Doesnโ€™t? . Recently when I visited part of Europe, I saw they have tethered caps (caps attached to the neck) for most of the bottles. But in India and many other countries, caps go flying off and get thrown anywhere. Why is that? Why can't we adapt European idea ? What Are Tethered Caps? ๐Ÿšซ Designed to stay attached to the bottle โ™ป๏ธ Makes recycling easier ๐ŸŒ Reduces plastic waste ๐Ÿง‘โ€โš–๏ธ Made mandatory by EU law since July 2024 for all single-use plastic bottles. Why can't India regulate it ? Why it doesn't do ? 1. No legal push for such design 2. Low awareness of recycling 3. Cost-cutting on manufacturing 4. โ€œUse & throwโ€ mindset 5. Brands here focus on volume, not circular design. The Main and Bigger Problem This isnโ€™t just about bottles. Itโ€™s about how regulation, behavior, and business priorities shape the future. India waits for laws. Europe designs for impact. This might be an good idea too. Message for founders and builders in this sector. You donโ€™t need to wait for policy. โœ… Build products with sustainability in mind โœ… Push behavior change โœ… Design for better habits, not just cheaper costs Should India adopt this? Should world adopt this ? I have seen many things which aren't general in India but it is Europe i will be talking about that in next upcoming posts Image to left is : Tethered caps Image to right is : Normal caps *This Post adhers to all community guidelines* *The image used below is sourced by web* * The content is based on personal experience and also personal search on web*
