PET bottles has become a major problem lately. Even when recycled, most end up in landfills because it isn’t cost-effective to process such large quantities. That’s why the best approach is to buy a glass bottle, for example, and use that instead. It will last you a really long time, and some aren’t any heavier. However, if you already have these bottles, don’t be afraid to reuse them—there are many ways to do so, and they’ll never go to waste.

            You can start by reusing them. It’s not healthy to use them for too long, but for the first few weeks, you can fill a PET bottle with water or a drink on your way to work or school. You also need to take care of them, so find a brush specifically designed for cleaning the inside and use it to remove any residue and buildup.

            Once cut, they can be great for planting and help roots grow. You won’t mind too much if the roots damage them, plus you won’t need to buy too many flower pots unnecessarily. Just cut off the bottom at a sufficient height and you have a new container.
Surprisingly, the simplest trick might not even occur to you. Fill the bottle with water and use it to water your plants—it’ll go much faster since the water is already there. It’s also handy for putting out fires while grilling. Just place it near the garden so you don’t have to keep running back and forth for a watering can, especially if you only need to water a little bit here and there.

            Another big hit is to take two ends that are long enough, attach a zipper to each cut, probably with a glue gun, and you have a container or pencil case—whatever you prefer. It’s a very simple and practical idea that many DIYers have come to love. In addition, you can turn them into bird feeders—either open-top or covered by simply cutting a circle in the bottle and adding a safety feature to prevent the birds from getting hurt, and you’re done. This way, you don’t have to spend money on unnecessary items for your home. Plus, they can look really stylish as decorations.
