Plastic bottles are ubiquitous but have disadvantages like being difficult to decompose and recycle. However, there are many ways we can reuse plastic bottles to minimize waste and pollution, such as: 1) Using plastic bottles for drip irrigation of plants to avoid runoff and allow deep watering. 2) Crafting pen holders, coin purses, and flower wall hangings from cut and decorated plastic bottles. 3) Filling bottles with leftover candle wax to create portable lights for outdoor use. 4) Growing food vertically in plastic bottles hung on walls or fences to save space in gardens. Reusing plastic bottles through these methods helps beautify homes and gardens while reducing environmental impacts

2. What is plastic?
 A material that contains one or more organic
polymers of large molecular weight, solid in its
finished state and at some state while manufacturing
or processing into finished articles, can be shaped by
its flow.

3. Why we need reuse of Plastic
Bottles?
 Plastic bottles are certainly ubiquitous--they
bring us everything from household cleaners
to soft drinks to things so readily available as
water. These bottles, while convenient, do
have disadvantages when used on as wide a
scale.
 The main problems are follows :
Decomposition
Difficult to Recycle
Non-renewable

4.  Some techniques through which we can
minimized the wastage of plastic bottles and
beneficial in reducing environmental pollution.

5. 1. Aqua Spikes
 Drip watering helps
avoid run-off and
allows the water to
be absorbed deeply
into the soil getting
to the roots of the
plant. Reusing
plastic bottles to
accomplish this is a
win/win situation.

6. 2. Pen Holder
 Of course a well cut
plastic bottle can be
used to hold pens,
pencils, paper clips,
screws, nuts, bolts
and just about
anything else.

plastic bottles to
create coin purse

9. 4. Flower Wall Hanging
 This is a plastic flower wall hanging
from the bottoms of 2 litre plastic
bottles.
 We wanted to do some recycled art
and use up the large plastic water

10. 5. Plastic bottles and old
candles
 In this method you
only need to collect
some waste wax
and put it into
plastic bottles and
inserted filament
into it.

purposes.

Food
 Hanging garden in
the form of old
plastic bottles.

proof, slug-proof
flowers to brighten
up your garden.
Flowers might be
out now, but how
lovely to have some
bright flashes of
colour during the
winter months

13. Conclusion
 From these above discussed methods we can not
only decorate our homes/garden but also it helps in
reducing environmental pollution and the cities will
look clean and beautiful.
