This is brilliant recycling. Lynn

WHAT A GREAT IDEA. NO MORE TWIST TIES OR RUBBER BANDS. This method is WATER PROOF AND AIR TIGHT.

Seal Plastic Bags with Old Bottle Caps

Cut up a disposable water bottle and keep the neck and top, as in photo.

Insert the plastic bag through the neck and screw the top to seal.
Seal Plastic Bags with Old Bottle Caps
The bag is made to be air-tight, such that water will not leak, the secret lies with the top and screw cap!

Zip-top bags are great, but sometimes you buy something in bulk and you're stuck with an unsealable bag.

My response
Lynn, I don't know if I would call it Brilliant Recycling considering you have to purchase a water bottle and something in a plastic bag. I think the world would be better off with a person using a Re-useable Water Bottle and purchasing nuts and using a jar or a re-useable mesh produce bag instead of a plastic bag, but that being said, It is a brilliant Re-use idea as long as you remember to use both parts of the water bottle for other things!

I think it is very clever and there are times when you just happen to have a plastic bottle that you didn't buy. A found one for instance. There are also some things that only come in plastic these days. You can do without or use common sense and buy it and reuse the container. IMHO
