    Plastic bottles are always pressurised at the factory. They can hold shit load of weight when closed, otherwise they would explode during the packaging process.

      I guess I was assuming the bottle wasn’t sealed shut since we’re talking about literal garbage that people throw on the ground.

        That’s literally the entire point of making the distinction between throwing away bottles with the cap and without. What did you think this was about?

        If it’s not sealed then it doesn’t matter if the plastic is thinner by a few microns.
