They aren't (yet ...) banned here, but they're no longer free either.

Our region is at the top of the European recycling scene, and we've begun to collect, sort and recycle even more household plastics .
It results in a massive reduction of the amount of remaining waste.
And it also shows how much plastics we're using.
Some charities collect LD and HD PE caps to fund their activities, as the caps are of higher value than the bottles.
