“When recycled, clear caps provide more flexibility and options for reuse,” said Mike Giles, vice president of manufacturing at Brookshire’s, in a statement to the media. “The clear caps also reduce packaging and manufacturing costs.”

On the food safety side, Brookshire said that the clear caps allow customers to see a visible printed stamp.
