For respective days now, a video has been very popular on TikTok, specifically an interview where a writer asks the minister of climate and environment: “Why are the nuts attached to bottles erstwhile next year, in order to sale the bottle in the machine, specified a nut will should be detached?”

The EU has so stated that by attaching them to bottles, we will reduce the number of these wastes in the world.

Quite a reasonable answer, but the question was different. Then let's find her somewhere else.

50 Peas for Can and 1 PLN for Glass

Let's start with the fact that in 2025 there will be fresh fees, bonds for glass and aluminium packaging – 50 cents for can and plastic bottle and 1 PLN for glass bottle. This fee will be recoverable by returning the bottles or cans to the appropriate vending machines.

We will not do this due to the fact that there will be no specified obligation, but then – you know! – we will not recover bail.

Nuts at the Lockup with Bottles? – Here are the opinions

Jacek writes to us in his email: “The nuts attached to the bottles are a bullshit idea. Not due to the fact that I am an enemy of ecology, but since from 2025 the machines will be introduced to return bottles that accept only empty packaging, what sense is it now to attach the caps to the bottles?”
Mr. Marek jokes: “That’s why I’m already hitting the nuts and throwing them distant so I don’t gotta do it in front of the machine.”
“ Before putting the nuts attached to the bottles, there are no educational campaigns to make certain that people are not even aware of the

To explain what it's for. And who will logically explain to them in any time that the bottles were with the lids, and now they are to land without them in vending machines?”

"We had to modernize machines, any had to be replaced completely. As a result, we faced client discontent. It may be the right thing to do, but no 1 has effectively explained to consumers the principles of this regulation. We had to, due to the fact that consumers inactive wanted to participate in fund-raising by collecting nuts. The thunders have fallen on us.”

It was only late that the National Chamber of Commerce, in an extended press release, argued, for example, that there are circumstantial reasons for attaching plastic bottle caps, specified as reducing the number of caps that fall out of closed circulation and frequently not recyclable. By attaching them to the bottle, the chances of them being decently processed in the same collection and recycling stream, together with a PET bottle, increase the efficiency of the recovered natural material for reprocessing.

“People are making this a problem to measurement their flight to Mars. It's a simple way: I turn, I break, I drink. Is it so complicated?”
Mrs. Maria: “I take the nuts off and I will do it for the remainder of my life. I besides cut off plastic mustaches that hurt your mouth and nose. I'm inactive trying to turn the cap on a crushed bottle after drinking a drink, although it's rather a feat, and I think I'm gonna give it up, I've got hand retardation and carpal tunnel syndrome."
Mr. Marek disagrees: “This complainer does not want to execute even specified a insignificant nuisance, but it is very crucial that millions of pieces of nuts do not flow into the seas, oceans, which is inactive happening. People must be easy, effortless and responsible."

The thought of attaching nuts to bottles raises many controversy and questions. The deficiency of an adequate information run further complicates the situation, causing confusion among consumers. It is crucial to educate the public on the benefits of these changes and to clarify the fresh rules on the return of bottles in vending machines. Only in this way can the intended ecological nonsubjective of reducing the number of plastic wastes in the environment be achieved.
