Yet again the ordinary people pay the price for the corporate greed. WE, the people are left to tidy up their mess! It was their greed that switched us from the use of re-useable glass bottles, to these abominable plastic things. I would HAPPILY go back to glass. These tethered tops are an absolute nightmare, for those with restricted sight, causing many problems (and spills)! Before their introduction, the vast majority of people would always put the tops back on before disposal, anyway. All they've done is to create problems for those that had no problems with the old system. Of course it doesn't affect the privileged few in power, as they have minions to open their bottles for them, in the same way that vacuum cleaner power restrictions don't affect them, 'cos they don't do their own cleaning! They employ cleaners who use industrial strength vacuum cleaners, no longer available to the general public! A CLASSIC EXAMPLE OF "I'M ALRIGHT JACK!"
