Although I try to limit the purchase of single-use plastic foods, sometimes it is simply unavoidable. And although I always recycle these containers, I am discouraged to think that they contribute to the waste of our planet. Fortunately, there are many creative and ingenious ways to reuse these empty food and drink containers instead of throwing them away. Here they are!
1. Snack Containers
A good way to reuse those empty coffee cream bottles – remove the labels and turn them into snack containers!
2. Wine Cap Tea Lights
You can easily make your own soy candle wax and then pour it onto empty wine corks for use in tea lights.
3. Protect Electrical Cords
Cut slots in the side of a plastic container and use it to store the plug part of a power cord on the outside. That way, you don’t have to worry about moisture.
4. Baby Food Spice Jars
Cut slots in the side of a plastic container and use it to store the plug part of a power cord on the outside. That way, you don’t have to worry about moisture.
5. Plastic Bag Dispenser
