 Reusing Drink Bottles will Make You Feel Froggy With Eco-Friendliness Published: Feb 20, 09 Views: 2,867 A Viennese industrial design student, Miulein, created a little zippered container using the bottoms of PET bottles. The frog-like contraption can be used as a chunky purse, a place to stash small items or a really fat wallet. That doesn’t mean it will have money in it. It will just be fat. We use PET (polyethylene terephthalate) a lot, especially for drink containers. It is a material that will outlive you. In fact, it won’t even start to break down until the 28th century. That would be like having something used by medieval peasants still around today. Short of giving up the products that come in it altogether, finding ways to recycle and reuse PET bottes is a good idea. Miulein is actually Zitta Schnitt, an industrial design student. You can see more of her work here.  This could be a hip green change purse, make up kit, condom case, or a carrier for all your psychiatric medication! Some variations include cutting a bottle lengthwise to create a clutch purse. Along those lines you could find a two liter bottles and make a larger pocket book. A simple DIY and sure to spark some conversation.
