Egal ob an der Softdrink-Flasche oder dem Milchbeutel: Bei immer mehr Verpackungen sind die Plastikdeckel fest verbunden mit dem Verschluss. Und das hat einen Grund.

And remember : The best waste is the waste we don’t produce.

The way the caps are attached seems to be terrible for accessibility. A family member has arthritis and struggles with them.

They are terrible. Do you know about the french water brand cristaline ? Look up for their caps (french : bouchon de cristaline) they are even worst. With any hand disablity you have to ask someone else for water. Unfortunatly more and more bottles are sold with this type of caps in France. I wish brand would bring water dispenser to supermarket. This way, one could still have a large choice of water but choose a bootle that fit its taste and ability while dramatically reducing waste.

Being “zero waste” means that we adopt steps towards reducing personal waste and minimizing our environmental impact.

Our community places a major focus on the 5 R’s: refuse, reduce, reuse, recycle, and rot. We practice this by reducing consumption, choosing reusable goods, recycling, composting, and helping each other improve.

We also recognize excess CO₂, other GHG emissions, and general resource usage as waste.
