Man-made plastics have drastically increased technology and consumer products, it is evident that humanity discards too much plastic.
We live in a society where many of our everyday things include plastic, and we dump a lot of items that are hazardous to the environment if not properly recycled.
The people who cares about the environment recognizes the value of reusing plastic bottles. Buying reusable, sustainably sourced things and reusing or recycling them is an effective way to do our part.
Please do not discard the plastic containers once you have finished with the milk, water, or any other item. Actually, we can use it to build something useful by crafting it into something you require rather than purchasing it and saving money.
1. Bottle Cap To Seal the Bag
This trick can be used for almost anything. That half-eaten bag of flour or snacks to keep it fresh, this can be used as an airtight container. You can reduce the the need of separate container to store.
Here’s how to do it:
Remove the top from an empty plastic bottle, put the open end of the bag into the aperture, and fold the bag down around the mouthpiece.
Then, to “close” the bag, simply screw the lid on top of it.
2. Planters
There are numerous creative indoor and outdoor methods to use a plastic bottle to grow your plants. You might be familiar to planting in pots or on the ground. But, if you have any extra plastic bottles, try utilising them.
These planter designs aren’t too big or too pricey. You can use them to grow little plants by mounting them on your wall.
3. Bird Feeder
It’s simpler and more efficient than you may imagine to scale up a plastic bottle into a fully functional birdfeeder. Create a backyard buffet for the birds to keep them coming back, and offer a variety of seeds on a regular basis to draw in more species of birds.
4. Trash bins
Make a trash bin using leftover materials! Yes, you can use any size of used plastic bottles to create a unique trash can. Particularly when creating a wire frame, you must be exact with your specifications. Put some mud inside the bottles to give them weight so that they won’t blow away. Even putting together a lid is doable. Make careful to line it with a bin liner, though.
5. Garden Fence
It’s a creative approach to recycle to fix two bottles together to make a horizontal fence. It will take a while, so you’ll need a lot of bottles that are all the same size and some patience. It needs some effort, but the payoff is almost a free garden fence that can be altered as needed.
6. Automatic planters
You can create your own self-watering plastic planter by inserting the inverted top half into the bottom one that is filled with water and a wick through holes punched through the cap. Simply check on it once a week, empty and clean the reservoir, and you won’t have to worry for the following week or two.
7. Shady lamps
If you use your imagination, there is no end to the things you can create using plastic bottles. By chopping off the top and painting it, you may make a simple lampshade. Alternatively, you can make a chandelier by chopping off the bottom of each bottle and hanging the “flowers” together. A plastic bottle lamp shade is inexpensive, original, and one of a kind.
8. Making chimes and art for the walls
Plastic bottles can be used to create as many unique creative wall hangings as there are types of bottles. You can combine different sizes, embellish them with string, and finish the artwork by adding bells or stars.
9. Funnel for pet bottles
This is possibly the simplest creation you can construct from a plastic bottle. It only needs the top portion to be removed, preferably in a slant, and then it is ready for usage. It is simple and efficient to recycle a commonplace item that you would otherwise toss away carelessly.
10. Green House
Although time- and labor-intensive, creating a greenhouse from plastic bottles is a reliable and economical method. It will keep vital heat in, breathe, and keep your plants healthy. It is very simple to repair.
Conclusion
Realizing the hazardous long-term effects that plastic trash has on our environment is what we need to do. If we can’t initially cease using it, at least we need to dispose of it in recycling containers. If we don’t figure out a method to stop its negative consequences, it won’t be long until the earth decides to recycle us. Plastic pollution is just as terrible a menace to our planet as global warming is.
To ensure that our future is still full of birds, sunshine, and trees rather than islands of plastic and cancerous plastic running in our waterways, perhaps we should develop novel ideas like “plastic roads”—plastic being recycled into asphalt mixture and used to pave roads that are apparently more durable and long lasting.
