Tethered Caps Mandatory in the EU from Summer 2024

Crucial for reducing plastic pollution, enhancing accessibility and inclusion

The article covers an event co-organized by the Swedish Institute for Standards, SIS, focusing on a new standard for attached caps on plastic and carton beverage bottles. This standard supports upcoming EU regulations, effective July 2024, requiring caps to stay attached for easier recycling. Bledar Beqiri took part in a panel discussion together with speakers from Coca-Cola, Spendrups Brewery, and Returpack. Bledar highlighted that the standard guides companies in complying with these regulations by specifying criteria for secure cap attachment, aiming to promote recycling and reduce plastic waste.
