There were earlier makers and their plastic discs were approved by the CMCA. The current ones on the market are OK to use- but the drawback is the the length of the boss (the centre piece with the hole) It protrudes too far which makes it difficult to pick up 3 or 4 discs in one hand at the end of each head. Bad...

Sorry but this is a bit long. Just read about water theft in the GN Times. A couple of years ago, during drought, I stayed behind the Bucca Q Pub for a few days. I was set up near the water tank.
