subject: How You Can Reuse Your Plastic Cutlery [print this page] Theres no doubt that plastic cutlery is a must have for casual parties, barbecues and get-togethers. Plastic cutlery is inexpensive and supposed to be throw-away so, if a number of pieces go missing or damaged at your next social gathering, you wont shed too many tears.
Still there is the big question of what you should do in your plastic cutlery after the celebration is over. Most plastic cutlery is made of non-biodegradable components, which means that they cant be re-cycled and can take at least 50 years to biodegrade in landfill. In todays period of global warming, that looks a bit silly.
So, to halt any unnecessary waster, weve formulate our major tips about how you can recycle your plastic cutlery - without sending them to landfill
On the go
Why not wash up a couple of pieces from your plastic cutlery set - maybe a few knives, forks and spoons - and bag them up, before taking them in your vehicle. This way, if you happen to find yourself stopping off for any picnic, youll have plastic cutlery prepared to hand for quick eating. Nosh!
Party hard - again
Why don't you be sneaky and conserve your plastic cutlery for the upcoming big party or social gathering? Provided that you wash it up well, it has to be absolutely excellent for another trip.
What a doll!
In case you have children, you can rinse some plastic cutlery and allow them to apply them with their dolls or teddy bears for a fictional celebration. In case your children are really small, it is worth monitoring them to avoid any accidental forkings!
Windchime momen
Unleash your creative juices and create a set of windchimes from unused plastic cutlery - stringing several plastic knives, spoons and forks together is a brilliant way to make a unique decorative piece.
Camp out
Planning camping? Bring certain plastic cutlery together with you - itll make treating those outdoor meals less difficult!
Green-fingered moment
Why not use your plastic cutlery in the garden? You can write plant labels on white plastic knives, forks and spoons to easier identify seedlings or new sprouts- anyone who knew plastic cutlery might be very adaptable?
Feeling crafty
If you (or your children) are keen artists, why don't you preserve your plastic cutlery and use it if you next decide to paint up a work of art? A plastic knife is ideal for scraping oils onto a palette, a plastic fork is perfect for combining paints and a plastic spoon is, obviously, perfect for scooping colors in one place to another.
