Reusing plastic lids/caps (www.biggerjugs.co.uk)

I have these bottles which I've already used once.

My question is if the lids/caps should be refused with beer? I'm concerned that the seal may not be strong enough without the anti-tampering loop attached (as they break when opened).

Thanks for any help!

You can reuse those caps, the tamper proof loop literally only exists for showing if the bottle has been opened previously, it does nothing to help hold the cap on the bottle.
