5 Ways To Reuse Plastic Bottles

Ever wonder whether there’s an alternative to recycling those used plastic bottles? Well, you know that the best alternative to that is using a reusable water bottle, such as Green Irene’s Stainless Steel Bottles. But in case you don’t have a Stainless Steel Bottle (and yous hould plan to get one soon if you don’t have one yet), there are ways you can reuse plastic bottles instead of sending them to the recycling facility. By doing so, not only will you save energy and other resources, but you’ll also get a bigger bang for the buck as the bottle will not serve a good purpose.

Below are 5 ways you can reuse plastic bottles:

1. Create a Juicer. Cut the bottom off of some plastic bottles to get a nice juicer. You can use the cone that bulges up from the bottom to squeeze orange and lemon juice. This will save you significantly on having to purchase a plastic or electric juicer.

2. Create Workout Weights. Fill different sized bottles with water (2.2 pounds) or sand (2.6 pounds) to use as impact resistant workout weights on land or in the pool. This will save you significantly on having to purchase weights or paying gym membership.

3. Make a Funnel. Cut the top off a plastic bottle and use it as a funnel in the kitchen or garage. For more detailed instructions, click here. This will help you save from spending on unnecessary items.

4. Dripless Ice Cubes. Fill the water bottles with water and freeze them up. Then use them in your ice chest during the summer instead of loose ice. This will not only save money, but it will also avoid the mess that melting ice creates.

5. Toilet Tank Trick. Instead of using a brick in your toilet tank (which can deteriorate the plumbing), drop one or two plastic bottles filled with water. You’ll displace enough water to displace half a gallon to a gallon. Your toilet will flush just fine and you’ll save a lot of water.
