Beginning in Part 1: https://zen.yandex.ru/media/id/5d63be1de4f39f00aebf062b/reuse-the-7-most-common-wastes-that-are-not-at-all-waste-part-1-5d95c5bc028d6800af3abdf2
4) Eggshells
In fourth place is the reuse of eggshells. Before sending them in the damp, we can let them dry in the open air and use them in many other ways!
In the garden: broken up in pots at the foot of the plants, they provide a good source of calcium to the ground and keep away the snails
For cleaning: once dry and finely shredded, the shells can be used to remove resistant incrustations from the surfaces.
In the composter: it is an excellent source of calcium, necessary to keep earthworms healthy in our domestic compost.
In decoupage: there are techniques that use eggshells to obtain with little expense a truly original mosaic effect in our works.
5) Paper
Another rejection that we often throw away is paper, but it also lends itself to reuse. Sheets of paper that have been written or printed on one side only can be easily collected in a binder and used again for notes and other prints. Or as a drawing book for young and old. Even small cut-outs, the back of receipts, mail, and envelopes can be used again if collected with a clip or clip. For example, to be used as a shopping list on the refrigerator, as a block next to the phone or to leave notes for roommates and family members.
6) Newspapers and advertising flyers
What if it's newspapers and publicity flyers? They cannot be used for taking notes as they are printed on both sides, but we can find a good reuse for them too:
For the home: excellent for cleaning glass, for repairing surfaces when we have to use paints or varnishes, for lighting the fireplace.
To make trash bags. Simply fold them to make a sachet, and use more sheets to increase the size.
For creative work: paper-mâché is magic! You can create beautiful masks with children, use containers as a mold and create vases and bowls, games for children ... there is to be indulged!
For fun gift packs. You can use them as they are, and close with a string, or create with the technique origami of boxes or decorative bags where you can then store the gift.
7) Glass jars
It may seem trivial to say, but even glass jars can be reused countless times.
In the kitchen: of course, their usefulness for preserves and jams is well known. But even for those who do not make preserves, cans can be very useful for preserving food and foods. The smaller and medium ones to store small portions of leftovers in the refrigerator, and perhaps not everyone knows that they are also suitable for the freezer (if you are careful not to fill them to the brim and screw the lid at a later time). A small jar in the bag can be used as a snack holder. The larger ones can be used to store dry products in the pantry, or crumbly foods such as biscuits and crackers. Bottles of tomato sauce are ideal for freezing the broth and always keep a little 'ready for a quick soup or to use it in other recipes.
To do the shopping: in bulk stores, you can bring your own can, weigh it to calculate the tare and then fill it with the various products.
As gifts: what could they contain? Some biscuits, a sleeve, some homemade sweets, some flavored salt, a DIY scrub with rose petals or lavender. Smaller cans may contain a solid perfume or cocoa butter made by us, or an herbal tea bought in bulk in a herbalist's shop or a mix of spices with herbs from our garden.
Multipurpose containers, with or without lid: here there's something for everyone! For small items, small stationery, as a pen holder, in the bathroom for toothbrushes or brushes, for reusable cotton handkerchiefs and discs, for ladles, as a vase of flowers ...
Final conclusions
This list is long, but the reuse doesn't end here! There are still a lot of objects that regularly end up in landfills, but that has a long life ahead of them. We hope we've given you some ideas for reuse, and we've convinced you on one point in particular: not all waste is rubbish (although it often ends up there).
