There are many ways to reduce the waste the most popular one is doing the recycling project. The bulb is one of the stuff that can be used to be the recycled material. It would be great how the non-working bulbs could have new functions because when the bulb is not working anymore we are often confused about the way to throw it. We all know that the bulb is in glass material and it will be risky to throw it away without any protection. Here, making use of the bulbs will be so much better because there are surely varied things that can be made from the old bulbs.
In recycling the bulbs, there are some things that you should prepare as follows:
- The condition of the bulbs. You should do the checking and eliminate the bulbs that can’t be used anymore. You can check on the cracking and the cleanliness of the bulb.
- Considering the designs. For this, you should be able to find the right bulb size and shape because those two will be varied.
- Additional materials. To get the new products, you will need some additional materials. Here, not to provide some new waste, you should make sure that the additional materials are in the right amount and portion. Make a plan for this before you start the project!
Now that you already know about things that you should consider before you start the project, we can’t wait to show you the varied bulb recycling projects that will be beneficial for your life and home decor needs.
