3 Easy Ways to Reuse Containers

Even if you try to live a zero waste lifestyle, chances are, you still produce (some) waste. And that’s okay! 

Luckily, there are MANY cool things to do with plastic containers that you already have.

Plus, it is a great way to reduce your waste and save up some cash. 

We will go through some of the most common plastic containers people have, including:

• Plastic bottles

• Small & medium plastic containers

• Large plastic containers

• Plastic bags

• Plastic cutlery

1. Planter 

This is a super fun yet straightforward DIY project.

You just need to cut the bottom of a 2-liter bottle.

Then, you can get creative and paint the bottle the colors of your choice, stick cool decorations, and add other features to it. 

Then, fill the bottle with seeds and soil, and you are done!

2. Piggy Bank

You can upcycle a plastic bottle into a piggy bank and start collecting $$. 

You can paint the entire bottle or leave it transparent to see how your saving is progressing. 

3. Hanging bottle garden (Vertical garden) 

This project is a fantastic idea if you are into gardening and if you have (or you can find) plenty of 2-liter soda bottles.

This vertical garden project is pretty simple to make and low-budget, too.

Plus, it doesn’t have to look ugly because you are using plastic bottles.

You can make it look pretty!
