How is this improving the situation. Do people only throw away the caps? I think this is just some stupid law so that they can say they tried. I still think soda cans are just a better solution and make it mandatory that companies recycle their own waste.
That actually sounds like a good idea to me, or you could make them similar in design to those water-bottles that have the cap meant to stay with the bottle, shown in:

Whereas the existing design is similar to the old pull tabs that were on cans which caused ecological damage when people discarded them on the ground.
I wish they'd instead go after the big companies doing the majority of the damage, but I suppose this's where the cards lay. (For now)
I think its easily solvable you just make it mandatory that companies recycle their own bottles and they WILL find a way to make it cheao.
Did you reply to the wrong comment?
The parks in my area have far more bottle caps on the ground than bottles
Well yes, many throw caps and bottle separately and the people that throw their trash anywhere will certainly not care about the caps.
Lol.
In what country is it mandatory for companies to recycle soda cans ?
Denmark lol
unfortunately yes, i've seen lots of just caps thrown around as litter
