Once that bottle is popped, there’s no going back (at least for the cap)! Metal bottle caps usually appear on glass containers and can’t be re-secured to the bottle once it is opened. Why is this an issue? Since the caps are less than 3 inches, they’re too small to make it through our single-stream recycling systems on their own and usually end up in landfill.

Instead, we’ve found a better home for them! Artists will create works of art from these caps, which would otherwise go to waste!
