She shared that people are likely buying these for home crafts or school crafting projects and that it's a great way to make money and protect the planet at the same time.
How it's working
Saving up and selling common household products that you usually throw away can be a great way to save money and help other people purchase products for cheap. Many people make their own pickles, jams, and jellies at home and are always looking for jars to store them in.
Selling them is a great way to give items like this a second life, save some money, and help prevent other people from buying new products, which lowers demand. This contributes to a circular economy where we reuse more of the products that have already been made for as long as possible.
It reduces the amount of waste we produce and keeps products out of landfills. Landfills have been shown to negatively impact our planet by releasing harmful, heat-trapping gases and leaching chemicals into the environment.
Jam jars and toilet rolls aren't the only things you can sell to make money easily. There are lots of other items you can sell, donate, or get store credit from, including old sneakers, clothes, books, and electronics.
