For Pet bottles caps are made by using HDPE & LDPE.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.43.232.239 (talk) 08:59, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Bottle cap materials 

message: This subject is in need of editing. Many glass bottles are capped with aluminum or plastic closures. Most plastic closures can be recycled. A range of sport caps are used on sport drinks.
Then there's the claim that twist-offs are the dominant form. Maybe in the USA, bucko, but out here in the vast majority of the world you can go for twenty years and see nary a one - and those that ARE around are on stuff imported from the USA. 86.11.124.189 15:44, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

message: I found a source on crown cap material: 
Crown caps apparantly are made from tin plate. 
I also found a wholesale supplier selling bottle caps:
1 gross (144) of bottlecaps is .75 pounds; 10,000 bottlecaps is 52 pounds.

message: Added the fact that twist-offs are widely used in Australia. They are virtually unknown in the UK (where I live), so it was a bit of an eyebrow-raiser to go to Australia and see people open bottles with their bare hands! 217.155.20.163 22:23, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

message: The old bottle cap image was deleted for lacking permission information (see here.)  A new bottle cap image should be added. -- HiEv 10:46, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

message: The article contained what appeared to be substantial material from one company, directing buyers how to use their products. Part of that and a plug for Colnect were removed. 76.102.1.193 (talk) 23:51, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Screw Cap 

message: When we were kids the YMCA summer camp/day care service would bus us to the local theater and pay with bottle caps. We were probably encouraged to bring in bottle caps, but I don't remember that. We usually didn't see new or popular movies, but that could have been because there wasn't enough for kids. A lot of the movies were Japanese giant monster movies and Ultra-Man like scenarios. This would've been in the late 80s/early 90s. What was going here?--184.63.132.236 (talk) 03:49, 19 June 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  As currency? 

message: The game itself has nothing to do with bottle caps, and someone coming to this page would likely not find this bit of information relevant or useful.  If a reference to the Fallout video game is allowed to remain, then should we also find every single other TV show, movie, or theatrical play that includes bottle caps in some way to include on this page?  What is so special about this game?
I think this section should be removed.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 143.85.5.26 (talk) 18:40, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Reference to Fallout video game seems inappropriate. 

message: In Europe schools and other places often collect caps for charity. This needs a section, ideally explaining why caps are so desirable (what's special about them that charities want them?). Malick78 (talk) 10:04, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
