Tethered Caps

Tethered Caps

Tethered caps – caps which remain firmly attached to the bottle once they are opened and also during use – will become part of day-to-day life for consumers in the EU by 2024. This is due to an EU directive, the aim of which is to reduce the number of caps that are becoming lost. This may sound straightforward on paper, but it is presenting manufacturers with new challenges. ALPLA now presents its innovative solutions in the area of tethered caps.
