Muitas vezes, em nossas casas, acumulamos vidros vazios de produtos, como potes de geleia, compotas ou vidros de conserva. O que fazer com esses recipientes vazios? A resposta é: inúmeras coisas criativas! Reciclar vidros é uma forma inteligente de reutilizar e reduzir o desperdício. Eles podem se transformar em belos objetos de decoração, como luminárias, vasos, ou porta-velas. Além disso, são ótimos para armazenar mantimentos, criar presentes personalizados ou até mesmo mini jardins. Aprender a dar uma nova vida a esses vidros desocupados não só contribui para um estilo de vida mais sustentável, mas também desencadeia uma onda de criatividade e economia.
USED GLASSES
Recycling used glass in the garden is a sustainable practice and can be done in different ways. Here are some options:
MUNICIPAL RECYCLING
Check if your city has a selective collection program that includes glass. Wash the used glass and remove any labels. Then put them in a separate container for recycling. Finally, make sure you follow local recycling guidelines to ensure that the glass is disposed of correctly.
REUSE IN THE GARDEN
Instead of discarding glass, you can reuse it in your garden. Transparent glass, such as canning jars, can be turned into plant pots. Just make sure you drill drainage holes in the bottom to allow the water to drain out. They can also be used as candle holders or decorative ornaments.
MOSAICS AND BORDERS
If you like craft projects, broken glass can be used to create mosaics or as ornamental borders for garden paths. Thus, break the glass into smaller pieces and, with the help of mortar, create beautiful designs or creative borders.
TERRARIUMS AND MINI-GREENHOUSES
Glass jars, especially those with lids, can be repurposed to create terrariums or mini-greenhouses. Simply add a layer of stones to the bottom for drainage, followed by soil and the plants of your choice. Close the glass and create a protected environment for the plants to grow.
Independentemente da opção escolhida, muito importante tomar cuidado ao lidar com os quebrados e sempre se proteger usando luvas. Além disso, o objetivo é reduzir o desperdício e dar uma nova vida aos vidros usados no jardim, seja através da reciclagem ou da reutilização criativa.
In addition to the options mentioned above, here are a few more ideas of what you can do with used glass:
ORGANIZERS
Clean, unlabeled glasses can be used as organizers at home. They're perfect for storing small objects such as buttons, nails, paper clips and more. Simply place them on shelves or in drawers to keep everything organized.
DECORATIVE VASES
Glasses of different sizes and shapes can be transformed into beautiful pots for flowers and plants. You can paint them, decorate them with ribbons, lace or coloured ropes to personalize them. These pots add a charming and sustainable touch to your decor.
LANTERNS AND LAMPS
Turn them into unique lanterns or lamps. Paint them with colored transparent paint or add creative designs. Then insert candles or LED lights inside the glasses to create an enchanting lighting effect indoors or outdoors.
SOAP OR LOTION DISPENSERS
Se você tiver os com tampa, pode-se transformar em dispensadores de sabão líquido, loções ou outros produtos de higiene pessoal. Basta remover a tampa original e substituí-la por uma bomba de plástico adequada. Decore como desejar para um toque personalizado.
BROKEN GLASS CRAFTS
Se você tiver vidros quebrados ou lascados, pode usá-los para criar arte em mosaico. Cole os pedaços em molduras, vasos ou até mesmo em placas de madeira para criar belas peças decorativas.
Remember to always take care when handling broken glass and use protective equipment such as gloves. Reusing used glass not only reduces waste, it can also be a creative and fun activity.
