I think the cap thing is more about littering because in those countries people litter only the cap for some reason?
Not sure if this applied universally, but I remember for years and years the common knowledge was that plastic caps are unrecyclable for some reason, and there used to be separate bins to toss them at recycling centers. That's no longer the case, so keeping the cap connected to the bottle is one way to demonstrate that they should be recycled together.
(By "recycled" I mean most likely shipped to Southeast Asia to then most likely just find their way into the ocean)
This is why I stopped recycling and put everything in the trash.
For one I was so sad when I found out what a scam it is that such a small amount of stuff is actually recycled and especially plastic never was actually planned to be recycled.
Two, I'd rather most of the plastic end up in our own landfill than to be shipped overseas into someone else's or just end up in the ocean. We deserve to poison our own land thanks to our politicians not holding corporations to account.
