DIY Crafts Plastic Bottles

Benefits of reusing plastic bottles:

Conservation of Oil – When a ton of plastic bottles are recycled approximately 3.8 barrels of petroleum is saved.

Reduction of Greenhouse Gas emissions – The substitution of recycled materials reduces the emission of greenhouse gases that are produced in the manufacturing of virgin materials.

Saving of Landfill Space – Not having millions of plastic bottles in the landfill results in a saving of 6.7 cubic meters of landfill space.

Reduction of pollution – Reusing plastic water bottles means that there is less demand to manufacture new bottles from virgin petroleum resin, and this leads to production of less trash that ends up in landfills, streams, and parks. Reusing plastic bottles can significantly reduce pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, and energy usage.

Reduction of waste – Washing and reusing plastic water bottles reduces waste and landfill crowding, minimizes pollution, and conserves energy. Refilling your plastic water bottle with tap water is considerably less resource intensive than purchasing commercially purified and bottled water.

A clean environment – Every day, consumers discard more than 60 million plastic water bottles. These bottles litter highways, clog waterways, or end up in incinerators and landfills.
