I'm all for a stronger enforcement of anti-littering laws, but I'm just as stumped about how exactly would that be implemented, what exactly would need to change, and how much would those changes cost compared to just requiring companies to make the caps be this way.

As for the "collective punishment", while I can definitely appreciate that some of the new caps can be fussy to use, I'd hope you can also appreciate that calling them a "punishment" is very much a subjective characterization, and that opinions do vary. I can't stand the cap on the cocoa milk cartons I buy, but the ones on the regular cow milk cartons are excellent, and work way better than what was on them before. I also generally think that the caps that are fussy to use are a nuisance at best, and that since there have been caps that annoyed me even before this change in legislation, there's no reasonable cause for me to be upset at this specifically.
