plastic rings

Polymer circular fasteners

Plastic rings are the connected loops of flexible plastic used to hold beverage cans together in multipacks, typically six-packs.

They're notorious for environmental harm—wildlife can become entangled in discarded rings, leading to injury or death.

Cut up your plastic rings before throwing them away.

Many jurisdictions now require biodegradable alternatives.
