Weekly Re-Purposing Project

I did my project on upcycling a milk jug. By upcycling a milk jug you reduce landfill clutter, reduce fossil fuel destruction by giving a new purpose to a non reusable substance, and reduces air, water, and ground pollution because the material stored in plastics may have toxic materials in them.

I made a sandwich/storage container out of a old milk jug I had laying in recycling.

I made it by:

  1. Marking the milk jug(with a NON-permanent marker) around the edges
  2. Cut on the lines that you marked.
  3. Wipe off the marker lines that are left.
  4. Then put small piece of Velcro on the longest piece so it will close correctly. 
  5. Congratulations you made a container like mine!
-The left over piece can be used as a funnel.
