I found this cool video online. To the best of my knowledge this is an initiative that was launched in Vietnam to help with the plastic waste in that country. It is scheduled to extend to other Asian countries in the future. It looks like an amazing concept. Check out the video to see how Coca-Cola is giving their plastic bottles second lives.Coke created various “second life” tools that could be attached to the top of the empty bottles in lieu of the original cap. Some of the devices included a paintbrush, pencil sharpener, bubble-blower, water gun, shampoo dispenser, children’s toy, spray bottle, night-light, and a sauce dispenser.

As a salvage queen and repurposing junkie, I think that this is absolutely genius. Why didn’t anyone think of this sooner?
