We recycle because we increasingly care about the environment. But we overlook a very important aspect: instead of throwing it away, even if in a selective manner, we can repurpose many of this waste. It only takes a little imagination and some inspiration. This is the very reason why we are showing you a series of DIY projects using plastic bottles, the waste we trip on everywhere we turn and which we incessantly produce, without considering the repurposing option.
