Background

Pass a law to ban drinks manufacturers from tethering plastic caps to plastic bottles. Return to having plastic caps unattached, separate and fully removable from all plastic bottles. I believe this will make plastic caps on plastic bottles more easily removable for elderly and vulnerable people.

Additional details

It currently makes opening and using the bottle difficult for many people, especially the elderly and vulnerable people with limited dexterity.
