Is there a push to make product containers re-usable? (reddthat.com)

I’m looking at an empty bottle of Valentina hot sauce. It has a flip top cap but is not twist off and seems to be press fitted on in some way - ideally there would be a way to easily remove it and re-purpose the container or at least clean it out for recycling.

With some recent legislation in some countries to standardize USB-C it got me wondering if there are pushes elsewhere or if maybe it’s just my country just hasn’t caught up on things.

Denmark (and probably Germany) has this for certain beer bottles...

We have it on all drinking bottles and cans except wine, liquor and milk products.

And we have it for drink bottles here in Australia, but not hard liquor or cooking sauce bottles.

I do encourage OP to complain to their local MP equivalent though.
