Recycled glass jars and demijohn are environmentally friends and stylishly attractive containers that can be used for a variety of purposes around the home. Demijohns are wide-bodied, narrow necked bottles that are traditionally wrapped in wicker basket work. Jars can come in a wide variety of sizes and shapes, but all have a wide opening at the top with a very small or no neck visible. Choosing recycled versions of these useful and decorative containers can help support more sustainable products and the businesses that think green to reduce waste.

While a demijohn was originally used primarily for wine storage, the multiple shapes and sizes can lend themselves to many liquids and small solids, such as storing rice or beans. These recycled glass bottles and jars of all sizes can store any number of things all around the house with a cork or lid to seal the opening. Use them to hold candles for a beautiful and romantic display. They make wonderful vases for flower bouquets or single buds as well. Use them to organize your pantry or bathroom items.

Since these glass bottles are made from recycled glass, they come in a wide variety of colors and shades. White, transparent glass is one of the most popular, but you can also find bottle green, amber and brown from light to dark and gleaming cobalt blue. While this glassware would look great on any table holding something for storage, they can also be displayed on their own or in pleasing groups for pure decoration purposes. They can look especially beautiful in a window with the sunlight streaming through their colors and splashing lights onto the surrounding walls.

If you need to contain something at home, from water and wine to a bouquet of flowers or rice and beans, various recycled glass demijohns and bottles should be your containers of choice. Not only are they very useful in all sorts of applications, they can be highly decorative as well. Ones fashioned from recycled glass help prevent waste from ending up in the landfills and our environment. Choose colorful glassware for all your storage and decoration needs.
