CA AB925

Prohibits retailers from selling single-use plastic beverage containers with caps that are not tethered to or contiguously affixed to the container, effective January 1, 2012.

Allows caps that include an opening permitting beverage consumption while the cap remains screwed onto or affixed to the container as an alternative to tethering.

Establishes findings that plastic bottle caps are a significant source of marine debris, with over 1,000,000 caps collected on California beaches since 1989.

References the California Coastal Commission's recommendation to redesign beverage containers to prevent caps and lids from becoming separated, citing the successful elimination of aluminum pull-tab litter through similar design changes.
