Thought some of them were pretty cool. We pay a deposit in the Netherlands and get it back when we return empty bottles to the store though so there's not much waste anyway.

These are pretty cool. Where I am, I have to pay to recycle and throwing stuff in the trash is a set rate, so we trash a lot of stuff.

great life hacks! i've got tons of empty bottles lying around at the kitchen because i'm so lazy to recycle them... maybe i should turn them to one of these!

 

btw, this topic reminds me of this:

Lol you guys have to PAY to recycle? We get paid here 10 cents per bottle. Makes it worthwhile to keep the country cleaner <3

Lol yeah way to encourage recycling You don't pay a deposit in advance? We pay and get 10 cents for glass beer bottles, 50 cents for 1,5L plastic bottles and 3,50 for a beer crate.

Nah no deposit in advance but we probably pay for it in the overall pricing either way, it's a great scheme imo.

we pay .05 c deposit per can/bottle and get .05c back per can/bottle when we turn them in.

This video is dumb as hell. What if Coca-Cola Corp just didn't aggressively market a profoundly harmful, habit-forming drink towards children and developing countries? There would be a lot less plastic bottle litter and obesity.

Everyting is so misterious

 

 

I like the napking holder idea, and i thing i will do it, since in this country that thing of recicling is like an idea from the far away future.

Is the peacock actually made of bottles? If so, that's pretty damn impressive
