While plastic usually has a bad reputation, there are many uses when recycled properly. As we grow to a more reusable future and plastic being a suitable reusable material, it has its positives from customising your home, to being more pro-active in your garden. The possibilities are endless with recyclable plastic - Here are some we've put together
- Recycled Plastic supply cups
After drinking a fizzy drink, or water - don't throw away the plastic bottle! Make plastic bottle cups instead. From holding your pens and other supplies; like paperclips and loose staple pins. Impress your kids or even co-workers with your recyclable supply cups.
Why waste money on brand new plant pots? Instead, carefully cut in half a plastic bottle and add in your seeds and compost. It's a fun, creative way to be more diverse with your free time and you're also saving the planet. Well done, you.
- Plastic foam for home insultation
Plastic foam insultation (SPF) and other insultation (Polyiso and XPS) are great solutions to insultations in the home. Of course, this does mean calling in a professional to get this job done. But your home will thank you for it.
- Kitchen Plastic splashbacks
Instead of spending loads of money on a fancy splashback. Why not stick up a sheet of plastic for half the price? Plastic can provide a variety of colours and sizes. It is the best alternative to expensive splashbacks being easy to clean and sturdy.
While glass mirrors can be expensive, especially for large home projects, like mirrored wardrobes - Using an acrylic mirror, not only being less expensive, and easy to fit - these types of mirrors are stronger, more efficient as they use a plastic base which is mostly likely recycled from other plastic material.
