Plastic bottles, don’t throw them away: if you do, you will reuse them in a creative way.

Recycling is very important for the environment, but this method allows you to reuse plastic bottles in a creative way.

We show you step by step how to create something incredible, simply using plastic bottles that you already have.

Plastic recycling – so important for the environment

Even today, many people are forced to buy plastic bottles. There may be many reasons for this. Some are related to the quality of the water in the aqueduct, which does not meet the standards set by the Ministry of Health.

Another reason is, for example, traveling. Frequent travelers do not get used to the mineralization of tap water in the cities they visit. The risk of drinking this water anyway is to be diagnosed with kidney stones.

There are also those who do not recycle and do not know the importance of choosing alternatives to plastic. Regardless of the situation of those who buy plastic bottles, it is important that they understand the importance of recycling.

In fact, plastic has contaminated a large part of our planet’s habitats in recent years and is the cause of major environmental problems. Recycling is a civic duty. Most Italian municipalities have adopted a recycling and waste disposal system.

It is up to each citizen to educate themselves to understand how it works. In the meantime, we explain how to reuse plastic bottles in a creative way.

Reuse plastic bottles creatively

If you can’t recycle and instead want to reuse plastic bottles in a creative way, today we’ll show you how to create a kind of portable fountain that you can even display in your garden.

All you have to do is cut the bottles in two, making a central cut. Then you have to cut some parts of the bottle again so that they allow the water to flow out of the spout, like a kind of channel.

Now put the parts you cut first into each other. Have fun creating combinations with the bottle cutouts, so as to create a sort of channel.

Then glue the parts together with transparent tape and place them on a support, for example a baking tray. Connect a transparent tube and a motor to the baking tray, which will serve as a constant source of energy for our fountain.

Once you have chosen the perfect location for this work of art, place it and pour water over it, which will end up on the hob before you leave. Remember, to do this, to ensure that the hose serves as both the water inlet from the source and the outlet to the bottles.

This is a very creative reuse system that we are sure could prove to be a viable alternative to recycling this material. Show it to your guests who we are sure will be amazed at its achievement and your concern for preserving the environment.
