I know it's supposed to help with recycling, the issue is that it fails to address the core of the problem. Instead of actually doing something about plastic waste, they change the bottle design a little, someone probably makes a shitload of money off that, and everyone is happy, but in reality nothing of substance has actually been done. They offer us these pathetic compromises and we are stupid enough to be satisfied with them.

No it does very much so solve the problem it was meant to solve: to stop caps from becoming litter!

You must have a very funny life if you find things funny you don’t understand

What do you think happens to bottles after you throw them in the trash? They get shipped off to some landfill where they're buried and forgotten about, that's just littering with extra steps.

In the Netherlands plastic waste is mostly burned, I believe.

which is vastly better than it ending up in nature or in a landfill, incineration with collection of the waste heat is effectively just the worst form of recycling.
