Have you ever wondered if those jar lids from pickle or pasta sauce jars are recyclable? With that plastic coating on the inside of the lid present, it makes you wonder if it can be put with all of your other recyclables each week. Well, the answer is yes; most cities will accept the jar lids in their recycle programs, but the plastic coating on the inside is still a problem. It doesn't get recycled along with the steel in the lid. The plastic seal part actually burns off early in the recycling process, creating a harmful gas. In brainstorming about other ways to re-purpose these jar lids, designers Michael and Cheryl Caston of CAMIC designs created Jar Lid Pulls. Jar Lid Pulls are drawer pulls that reuse the jar lids from spent food jars as well as used wooden spools of thread. Some thread remains wound on each spool as a reminder of its former life. Extra-long aluminum binding posts, which are commonly used for creating scrapbooks, keep all the pieces in place. The large size of the jar lids makes them easy for children to use and a great way to add an extra splash of color to your home’s décor. You will find that these drawer pulls add character to old furniture and become the conversation piece of any room. Customize your own sets by choosing the size and color of the jar lid and spool.
