The new #euro notes should feature peak european innovation.

@remaster missing a cookie banner

@remaster one of them could be a straight cucumber

[ahltorp@mastodon.nu]

@Elektrotier @remaster But in Sweden the number of bottle caps on beaches increased dramatically after bottle caps started to be attached.

This diagram is the number of plastic caps per 100m beach.

[remaster@mastodon.social]

@claus Yeah, well the EU did not invent the banner, it’s the industry’s fault.

[ahltorp@mastodon.nu]

@mawhrin @keesjanb @remaster It's also extremely difficult to pour from one of these bottles without liquid spilling from inside the cap onto places where you don't want liquid.

So what happens is that you instead have to use two hands, one on the cap and one on the bottle.

@keesjanb @remaster har har har. Can we concentrate on Shell's environmental damages or the damages of PET bottles in the seas and microplastics.

[remaster@mastodon.social]

@ahltorp @Elektrotier Oh! Hadn’t heard that.

[bill88t@c.im]

@ahltorp @Elektrotier @remaster
Wait? What? No, why?

[magezwitscher@det.social]

@remaster
Yes, great! Here's my proposal for the 200€ bill.

@ahltorp
Do you know how the studie has been made ? @Elektrotier @remaster

[willi@hachyderm.io]

@magezwitscher put it on the 5, so its more visable to everyday usage. i cant remember when i ever had a 200 in my hands.

[ahltorp@mastodon.nu]

@bill88t @Elektrotier @remaster The total amount of plastic caps found has gone down in Sweden though (62% fewer per square meter in 2025 compared to 2023).

The reason the west beaches of Sweden (Skagerrak, Kattegat and the Sound) are so littered with plastic caps is not fully known according to the report by "Håll Sverige Rent" (Keep Sweden Clean). They know that some people are very bothered with the caps, and that this might mean that they tear the caps off and throw them away.

[robinp@mastodon.social]

@remaster I used to not like these caps, but recently I lost a Rivella (Swiss) cap, and mourn it since.

[viennawriter@literatur.social]

@magezwitscher @remaster Can I please get a full #Euro notes set with GDPR, AI-Act, Right to Repair, Investigation into right-wing partys and ... what should be the others? Maybe #Schrems2, #Schrems3inthemaking

[ahltorp@mastodon.nu]

@bill88t @Elektrotier @remaster They also speculate that they could come from other countries, including the UK, where caps are not required to be attached.

I have only found information in Swedish about this but here is the report (in Swedish):

@remaster
The 500€ should feature "Roam like at home".

[magezwitscher@det.social]

@willi
Actually, I think a cookie banner would be more suitable for the 5€ bill. 🤭

[ahltorp@mastodon.nu]

@francoismandil No, no details, but is was made by a very reputable Swedish organisation that specialises in reducing litter. I only have the report and a news article about it, both unfortunately only available in Swedish:

@remaster@mastodon.social @magezwitscher@det.social you’ll want to have “universal standard charging directive” in more than just English since euro notes are multilingual but other than that extremely important post-ruining oversight (/s) I love it

[pictopulse356@mastodon.social]

@remaster I love it
