I'm not sure why you're reframing my statement. I still consider the bottle cap redesign as the weirdest recent directive, based on no evidence.
I am aware that bottle cap redesign was part of a bigger directive. I am aware of that directive because we are already in the polluting paper straw world.
Fishing gear proposal shows the same half-assed attempt at waste collection as is separating plastic, paper and rest. But that is less weird to me, because I know that already a bigger attempt at managing waste is failing in most cities (but is at least a cosmetic improvement). 50% recollection of fishing gear and a 15% recycling effort will be met with similar gymnastics as waste separation and will result in no fines at all.
