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.
Don't throw away the empty jar of your Berlingot box set anymore! This pretty box is a useful container for various uses.
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!
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!
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.
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.
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. If you have a compost, simply throw them inside and let nature do its work! For those who do not have compost, the site jecomposteenville.fr offers composting places in your neighbourhood!
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.
Refill your bottle every week with water to mist the foliage of the plants that support it: your ferns will love it!
Our Triple Makeup Remover Discovery Kit will be perfect to store your makeup in your handbag.
On holiday in the sun, put your swimsuit inside while still wet so as not to get your beach bag wet.
It is also a pretty kit that will find its place in any children's room to store the crayons and markers of future artists.
A small jar can serve many purposes. Our balms have the ideal size to follow you everywhere!
The Organic All Pink Lip & Cheekbones Balm and the Organic Velvety Tinted Eye Contour BB can be used in a variety of ways thanks to their small glass jar. Our balms have the ideal format to follow you everywhere.
Once your little jar is perfectly cleaned, you can store inside your pills for the weekend, or for the adepts, a small portion of your Bach flower tablets or other small precious objects that you don't want to lose! Slip it into your handbag, it won't leave you!
