Yeah, but not really in this case.

I guess there are more caps recycled now, so there are less carbon emissions then producing new ones from petrolium?

Even if that was the case, it would be really marginal and not even worth considering.

Preventing unnecessary littering and microplastics was probably the goal, even if there it's rather marginal. Personally, I just like the fact that the cap is not lost, however.

The new ones would probably still get made from petroleum, most plastics suck to recycle
