Some fantastic ideas for upcycling common glass or plastic bottles
Plastic and glass bottles are perhaps among the most odious waste products for those who care about the protection of our poor and suffering world. In fact, if for example, plastic bags can be easily reused (and in fact, they are usually stored), glass and plastic bottles almost always end up in the garbage can (hopefully, at least, in the differentiated waste containers).
Most of the plastic bottles, specifically, cannot be reused to hold drinkable liquids (because depending on the type, the plastic material may deteriorate over time), but certainly, plastic bottles are suitable for all purposes that do not include contact with liquids. On the Internet, there are numerous tutorials that show us the most interesting and useful ways to upcycle and to not throw away these hazardous materials after the first use.
