I made a decision to get rid of all the plastic I could replace with other less toxic materials. Sadly, we can't avoid it completely, there's the water filtrator, blender, coffee machine, freezing bags, ice tray, you name it.
However there are some stuff made out of plastic that have their counterparts with different materials. I would feel much more comfortable replacing some things with glass, or stainless steel. Things like food containers, funnel, bottles and especially stuff like a potato masher and such could be easily replaced.
That plastic not only is easy to bend, get little cracks, but also let go some of its taste which is not that tasty at all and has questionable health effects. I also imagine, working an extraction with it would lead for a product that contains contamination, possibly altering the purity of the end result to a noticeable degree.
Most people wouldn't mind just throwing that stuff away, but I would because I try to find use from everything I own, since well, I did pay for it after all with hours of my life that I'm never going to get back. Might as well make the most of it.
So, yeah, what can I do with it? Since I do own different kind of plastic ware most of which are old, cracked, a bit melted it wouldn't do any good to anyone. Nobody would take that stuff even for free. I was thinking about melting it all together, and doing something out of it, but what?
I might also be going overboard on saving stuff, so if there's nothing else I could do expect throw it away or recycle I'm probably going to do just that but if it could find some practical uses I would like to know about them.
Any suggestions are much appreciated.
