Plastic contamination is a terrible issue – the oceans are flooded with plastic waste, which even causes it’s entering into our food chain. Meaning, that we eat the fish, that has microplastics in their organisms. So plastic recycling seems like a good idea and true salvation not even to us, but our nature too.

Plastic bottles can be used for many DIY ideas, from making garden decorations, and brooms to ottoman seats. Its resilient, flexible, transparent and food-safe qualities allow us to creatively re-use them for many purposes. So many, that we’ve decided to create a whole post dedicated to plastic bottle recycling and upcycling ideas.

If you don’t have an opportunity to separate your waste for recycling, do not throw the beverage bottles out, it might become into a beautiful plastic bottle craft project while also helping our fragile ecosystem as well!
