Recycle toilet paper
Among the most used consumer goods is undoubtedly toilet paper. Most of those on the market are held together by a cardboard roll, which 99% of the time ends up thrown away. Did you know that it can have countless uses both at home and in the garden? Below we present some solutions to reuse the internal toilet paper roll, to also do a small favor to the environment in terms of recycling.
How to use the internal toilet paper roll
Keep cords tidy, curtain folds, roll up cables and in the garden. There really are many uses that a simple cardboard roll can have, which often ends up in the trash. If you thought it was only suitable for entertaining children, here are the uses suitable for everyone.
Cardboard rolls
One of the first tricks is to use a cardboard roll to make curtains.
If you have curtains with a ring to insert into the rod, the toilet paper roll will be useful as a separator to keep the top of the curtains equidistant and well stretched, avoiding tight folds. In fact, it is enough to alternate a ring and a roll of paper to obtain a uniform effect and form nice folds. If the effect of a whole roll is too much for your curtains, you can always divide it in half to obtain smaller but still well-ordered folds.
The solution to scattered cables? The cardboard roll.
The toilet paper roll can also come to our aid because of the multitude of cables that often, scattered in drawers or boxes, end up knotted together, making it impossible to find them quickly and, above all, to use them up. Simply roll the cable around itself, giving it a slightly elongated shape, and then insert it inside the roll of paper. Here too, depending on the size and length of the cables, you can choose whether to use the entire roll or cut it into smaller pieces.
It can also be useful to write on the roll itself what type of cable it is, so that it is easier to identify.
