If I remember correctly, bottles used to have cork in the caps before plastic. I don't know if going back to cork is feasible so is there an alternative to plastic that meets the requirements?
I dunno. Cork comes from tree bark, and I would prefer "we" don't incentivise corporations to mess more with trees.
Also, what they suggest in the article sounds pretty feasible: cleaning the caps before sealing, as well as changing stuff in the manufacturing procedures.
If you ask me, my favourite solution would be to use our own bottles or flasks and refill them with the beverage of our choice at specific places. I know we are not used to that, but in the same time it's not that difficult either.
Cork harvesting isn't very harmful to the tree

IFF the harvester actually knows what they're doing
I'd imagine they're pretty careful about that, since the first harvest isn't until the tree is 15-20 years old, and they can live for 150
