The humble plastic bottle rarely impinges on your thought process as being a utility item; it’s usage is so widespread and commonplace that you just accept it without further comment. But where would we be without plastic bottles?
Available in a multitude of sizes from brewing vats to tiny squeeze bottles, this ubiquitous container has so many uses that it is almost impossible to think of a situation where a plastic bottle doesn’t feature.
In the kitchen they hold foodstuffs and cleaning materials. In the bathroom they store hair products and cosmetics. In the tattoo parlour they contain inks. In the nail salon they keep nail varnish remover and polish safe.
Common, everyday uses maybe, but if they didn’t exist, how else would we store all of our essential liquids? The alternatives – pottery and glass, as used in the past have been passed over for good reason, plastic bottles are cheaper and don’t break if you drop them.
