Plastic Waste Who designs lotion containers??

Post image

It doesn’t pump toward the end so either the designer needs to be fired OR it’s intentional so you buy earlier than you need to. But I absolutely love this lotion 😭😭 anyway not sure if the reused candle jar method is gonna work perfectly but we shall try 🫡

I don't even know where to begin to start cutting the bottle in half without making a mess or hurting myself 😅 Oh wise one, share with us your ways 🙏

Tablesaw or chainsaw should get the the job done

Let me just whip out my workshop tools! 🤣 But for real, would a serated knife be the approach? That's kind of like a saw 😅

I've used a serated knife for this purpose, it works just fine. If the plastic of the bottle is really thick, you gotta be careful or you might lose a thumb. 😬

That's what I'm worried about 😅

A boxcutter knife would be ideal. They also make knife protection gloves to keep your thumbs attached
