• Turn your old plastic bottles into useful and sturdy no-sew zipper cases that will help you organize your life, for almost no cost at all. You can use them to store all sorts of art and craft supplies. This is also an awesome back-to-school craft idea for kids. To make one, cut the plastic bottle, glue a zipper to it, customise the decorations and you’re done. You can learn how to make these creative zipper cases from plastic bottles here.
• If you want to keep your outdoor plants happy but don’t have a sprinkler to water them, all you need to do is poke holes in a 2 litre plastic soft drink bottle, insert the hose into the bottle and wrap some tape to fix the hose to the opening of the bottle. Turn on the tap and the homemade sprinkler is ready to go. Learn how to make a DIY sprinkler to water your garden here.

• If you want a gorgeous and eco-friendly piece of mosaic art for your walls, start gathering plastic bottle caps. If you don’t have enough, collect from friends and neighbours.

• Not only does this simple project recycle a plastic bottle and make an adorable piggy bank, it also encourages kids to starting saving and recycling from a young age.

Answer 2

Answer:

• Working with low-density polyethylene sourced from plastic bags and water bottles, the chemists figured out a way to break the material down into rice-grain-sized granules and convert it into jet fuel.

• A lot of research goes into developing new materials that can help us contain oil spills, but could these efforts help reduce a mess of a different kind? PET plastics are a huge source of waste, and last November scientists at the National University of Singapore reported a breakthrough that could see them converted into a very useful kind of aerogel.
