But with typical EU short sightedness they have made the problem WORSE. They dont work - they are a faff - you cannot drink straight out of the bottle - so I will use a cup/ throw away plastic - or waste water to wash said cup. And worse yet they have doubled the problem because the best way to get them to work properly is to do this. Now I have a cap that works and TWO bits of plastic.View attachment 360275

Exactly what I do. There are lots of ways around the idiocy.

Straws there's another stupid EU think with consequences - turns out Paper straws contain more potentially toxic ‘forever chemicals’ than plastic.

Implemented by the Tories when they didn't have to.

Didn't need to be implemented until after we had left. The Tories still chose to do it. They didn't have to.

and where does that say the tories brought it in for the UK ?

Never had Denso down as an armchair expert on the plastic bottle manufacturing industry - but there you go.

Anyway, in common with some others on here I just automatically rip the cap off first time I open a plastic bottle.

Usual type of thread that Denso manages to convert into a trolling exercise. A few will have a ***k over him but best ignored imco.

But we took our sovereignty back.

Sshh...

Don't tell the brexiteers this (it'll only upset them), but the UK never lost sovereignty in the first place

I can use them fine

Either you are fick or you are trying to use it as a childish argument against the EU.
Or both

 

[Notch7]

Nothing to do with the last government. -----
"While it’s an EU policy to get rid of them, it has had knock on effects in other countries. Companies mass produce bottles and caps so it is complicated to make different styles for different countries. As a result major drinks companies are also rolling out the new caps in non-EU countries, like the UK, even though they are not legally obliged to."

But you voted Brexit to “get back control”

Now you are moaning Brexit didn’t achieve what you were promised.

Poor Aveatry: moaning that he was lied to over brexit

You mean the usual type of thread where Denso posts facts and makes the Daily Mail readers look stoopid

Straws

...are not banned.

 

[ericmark]

I reuse my PET bottles, and it is a real pain getting the home brew into bottles which the top will not come off, clearly designed to stop recycling of PET bottles.

 

[Notch7]

so “get back control” not working out too well.

 

[noseall]

No no no - its the Tories fault - its always the Tories fault.

Correct. They introduced the single use plastics directive as part of Environmental Protection.
