Give a second life to your products

Nothing is lost, everything is transformed. 90 billion packages are thrown away every year by the French, which represents about 4 million tons of packaging.

As small gestures make all the difference, we have imagined for you, different ways to divert our bottles in a playful way to give them a well deserved second life!

Here are our little everyday tips to divert your favourite products.

The Berlingot Box Set

Give a second life to your products!

Don't throw away the empty jar of your Berlingot box set anymore! This pretty box is a useful container for various uses.

Tip 1: A nice jewelry box

The size is ideal for putting your rings, earrings, necklaces and brooches in a safe place away from dust. With its lid, you can also take them everywhere with you!

Tip 2: Planting

Plant your succulent cuttings or seeds there! These plants are very resistant and do not need much water, are adorable in miniature version and will bring a touch of greenery in your home at a low cost. After having filled your pot and planted your small succulent, come to add on the surface of the ground small stones of the color of your choice for a decorative touch which makes all the difference!

Tip n°3: Making your Vegetable Candle

Our glass jar is the ideal case for making a scented candle that will warm up the atmosphere of your living room during the long winter evenings.

The recipe:

- Wax flakes (preferably soy wax)
- Essential oils of your choice. According to your tastes, dare to mix them and give an atmosphere - fresh or warm - to your interior.
- A wick of wood or cotton.
- Vegetable oil and/or butter to help melt your candle.

Tip #4: Keep your teas and herbal teas

The Coffret Berlingot is ideal for storing your teas and herbal teas! It keeps them away from light and humidity. Your hot drinks thus retain all their flavour! You can also label your boxes and customize them to make it easier to find your way around.

The Konjac sponge

Tip: Throw them in your compost.

If like us, you can no longer do without konjac sponges for your daily cleaning, don't forget that these little wonders are 100% biodegradable.

L'Eau de Fleur et de Fruit

Give a second life to your products!

Tip 1: A homemade multi-surface cleaner!

L'Eau de Fleur et de Fruit, the addictive gesture par excellence for a fresh and soothed skin. If you collect bottles, give a second life to spray bottles by making your own multi-surface cleanser!

The recipe:

- White vinegar to clean and shine
- Essential oil of lemon and lavender in small quantities to cleanse and bring a note of freshness.

Tip #2: A spray for your plants

Refill your bottle every week with water to mist the foliage of the plants that support it: your ferns will love it!
