Everytime I see a bottlecap on the bottle in the ocean, I get so happy with this super good solution.

That's where a bottle deposit system could come in.

over 95% of bottles and cans collected in Germany/Scandinavia, via Daily Mail: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4225292/Ministers-signal-against-plastic-bottle-deposits.html

(Recycling rate actually means collection rate, but who gives a hoot.)

I'm from Norway. We have been recycling since the eighties, like alot. This is how you solve the problem, I totally concur. So when cola, and the likes, release tethered-bottlecaps, it's a non-solution. It's vitue signaling. They should bank-roll a recycle infrastructure in countries that don't have it. That's the real solution, but they will not do it.
