    Do bottle caps have any significant impact on carbon emissions?
    I’m pretty sure it’s more about plastic waste littering the environment. Carbon emissions are not the only environmental issue.

      It’s to protect wildlife, prevent marine litter and it also fixes a problem when processed in recycling plants. Loose caps often fall through the cracks (literally) and end up in landfills.
