It is not necessary to get rid of the plastic bottles that we consume every day, that is why we bring you some ideas to encourage you to recycle plastic bottles.
Recycling is a process that transforms used materials, which would otherwise be a simple waste, into very valuable resources. The collection of used bottles, cans, newspapers, etc., are reusable and hence, taking them to a facility or collection point is the first step in a series of steps that generate a large amount of financial, environmental and, of course, social benefits, both locally and globally.
We can also recycle in our own homes, making useful items that we consider garbage. Recycling should not be left for the companies alone, here are a few ideas you can build upon.
FEEDER TOY FOR DOGS
If your dog is curious and likes to experiment with new toys, it will keep him busy and entertained with a very easy build game.
HANGING PLASTERS TO GROW TOMATOES
Learning how to make a pot to plant your tomato plants in plastic bottles is a simple project. The perfect solution for people who want to enjoy homegrown tomatoes, but don’t have a patio. We can grow our own food, even with very few meters.

An original storage system with 40 rigid plastic bottles or carafes that come from some typical uses, usually cleaning or laundry items.

LAMPS WITH SMALL PET BOTTLES

A very original garden lamp, one of which you can find in many stores, but with the great difference that you make it yourself and that, for this, you will use recycled materials.

With a simple PET bottle, we can make a spectacular house for the birds in our garden. They will thank you!
VERY FUNNY GATUNA POT

JEWELER or MAGAZINE RACK

CUTLERY STORAGE
A bottle can be too useful to organize your cutlery, especially the knives; Make sure to cut the nozzle to fit and sand or tape so that you don’t get cut on the burrs from the plastic. Add fine stone and there they will be well anchored.
PENCIL HOLDERS
