Yeah..I'll stick to my bottles but just be doing a rinse that i didn't in the past. The claim makes all the sence in the world since it's just like how microplasics get into the air...your polyester clothing in the clothes dryer....the friction of the clothes scraping against each other then get blown out into the environment.
@Donoroto ...what's a Boston Round Bottle?

Thanks for posting that @Ward Chillington. I saw that mentioned on the news but they didn't explain how the contamination occurred.
It appears the bottle caps are stored post production with thousands of other caps in bags or boxes, and those scrape each other as they are jostled, Dehaut noted. Once the caps are sealed to the bottles, the bits of plastic from the scratches end up in the beverage. The authors were able to see the tiny scrapes and scratches when they placed the caps under a microscope.
