When I need to buy water, I avoid buying bottled water, but I use bottles to store other liquids such as vinegar, oil, among others.

I also buy a lot of canned food, such as tuna and vegetables because they are easy to prepare. When I prepare my daily meals and I want to store them in the fridge, I use plastic containers

We use many types of containers in daily life, such as boxes for packaging, cans and tins for food storage, jugs for liquids, tubes for creams or toothpaste, and tubs for ice cream or butter. Each container is designed to suit the product and make it convenient to use, store, or carry.

In Algeria, I usually eat honey from a jar, drink water from a cup or a jug, and warm milk from a bowl. But I use a glass cup like that of Guinness to drink fermented milk, called here "lben".

I usually drink water from a jug, but I use bottles only when I am outside. I prefer fresh food and rarely use anything from a tin. I typically buy milk in a carton and enjoy biscuits that come in a packet.

I mostly use bottle for drinking, but it is not the plastic one but the one that made of glass so that I can recycle it. I think we all should use this kind of bottle as much as we can so that we could reduce plastics. I sometimes use boxes for moving some stuffs. I rarely drink juice that come with cans.

What containers do you use the most? What do you use them for?

I use a lot of containers such as cans, tins, bottles and packets. 

I don't usually use jugs but I always have a jar of honey at home.

Now I'm going to need a lot of boxes because I want to do some work around the house and I need to clear out a room.

I used to use plastic containers to store things, but now I try using cloth bags and glass containers instead to protect the environment.

Certainly, like the majority of people, I use a lots of containers every single day.

It’s almost impossible don’t use at least one of them in your routine. 

First of all, the potable water is stored in bottles, in different sizes; vegetables, fruits, biscuits eccetera are putted inside packets made with plastic or paper; I could continue the list, but it’ll be too long. 

Anyway, only rules and regulations can help us to reduce the use/abuse of packaging.
