  • Function of the plastic ring on bottles:
    1- Transport and storage: The plastic ring, located just below the neck of the bottle, helps ensure that the bottle remains stable and protected during transport and storage.
    2- Maintain the flavour of the drink: This ring is crucial to maintain the gas levels inside the bottle, which preserves the original flavour of the drink. Without it, the drink could lose its effervescence and alter its flavour.
  • How to recycle plastic bottles correctly:
  1. Empty the bottle: Make sure the bottle is completely empty.
  2. Rinse the bottle: Wash it with water to remove any residue from the drink.
  3. Crush the bottle: Press the bottle from top to bottom to reduce its volume, but leave the plastic ring in place.
  4. Close the bottle: Replace the cap, making sure the ring remains in its original position.
  5. Prepare for recycling: Place the bottle in a recycling bag along with other bottles.
  • Additional tips:
    1- Do not remove the ring: Keep the plastic ring intact during recycling, as it is part of the design that facilitates the processing of bottles in recycling plants.
    2- Recognition in recycling machines: The rings help sorting machines to correctly identify and process bottles, improving recycling efficiency.
