It seems very wasteful to use once and then chuck in the recycling bin. I usually keep a few to reuse for storing stuff, but every year, I have to chuck quite a few. Suggestions?<br /><br />I've already tried asking a few people who bake a lot, but everyone is already overwhelmed with too many such containers. The problem is also that they are in assorted sizes and styles, with labels stuck on, so someone who bakes to sell won't want them.</blockquote></blockquote>Try put up for free on Carousell or FB Recycling groups.

Personally feel the goodies can be packaged in plastic bags (eg sellers provide choice of no container packaging or with plastic container packaging at a higher price)  instead since most people will already have containers to transfer into. At least the plastic bags can be recycled for throwing things.<p></p>]]></description><link>https://forum.kiasuparents.com/post/2058433</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://forum.kiasuparents.com/post/2058433</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Coolkidsrock2]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 13 Feb 2022 08:50:19 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to What to do with CNY plastic containers? on Sun, 13 Feb 2022 06:14:23 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p></p><blockquote><b>sushi88\" post_id=\"2058396\" time=\"1644720404\" user_id=\"100857:</b><blockquote style="border:1px solid black"><br />I have seen many \"mozaic\" art made from various recycled materials by creative people.
