Here are five things you could do with your used plastic bottles:

Pencil Case

You can cut the cone-like top of your PET bottle, and use the remainder (the cylinder-like bottom) to hold your pens and pencils. Your children can even use this to store their colour pencils.

Gift Box

This is another great idea for your used plastic bottles. It also requires cutting and dispensing with the cone-like top and reshaping the bottom into a container that can hold gifts. Learn how to do this here.

Food Storage

This is one that’s already fairly common. You can empty your old bottles, and use them to store things like groundnut, spices, and other food ingredients.

Plastic Pot for Plants

  Here, you remove the cone-like top of the bottle, fill the bottom cylindrical part with fertile soil, and plant your seeds or transfer small plants in it.

Utensil Holder

Just like its use in food storage, plastic bottles can be used to hold kitchen utensils.
