How can I reuse or recycle plastic VHS video cases?
We’ve covered on VHS cassettes before but now Suzy has emailed asking about their now redundant solid cases:
I have some old vhs tape cases. The cases are made of a plastic shell to hold the video that is glued to a cardboard outer layer with the artwork printed on it.
I’ve pulled apart several of the cases and recycled the cardboard, but now I’m left with a stack of plastic shells (most with glue residue on the back).
Is it possible to recycle this plastic? I don’t see any recycling symbols but I’d hate to just throw them away!
There must be thousands and thousands of these things kicked about as people dumped their old videos. So any suggestions for recycling or reusing them?
