    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)

        It sucks so much to not be able to throw cans into recycling and be done with it.

        Every week or so I carry some stinky bag of beer cans to these machines and I hate it.

        Other countries should not be forced to implement this.
