Before DVDs, streaming and Blu-ray there were them: VHS video cassettes! If you still have them, don’t throw them away! You could recycle them!
Perhaps many young people today won’t even know what we’re talking about, but the VHS (Video Home System) is a video recording system in analogue format and on magnetic support used in the 90s. They were simply called videocassettes, and until the 2000s they were collected in every home. With the advent of technology, multimedia contents have been increasingly dematerialized. Maybe today those who are a little older and belong to the generation of “millenials” he will still have bookcases full of them. But if you no longer have a VCR you might think about throwing everything away.
Yet there are several ways to avoid throwing away these pieces of history. First of all we can think about selling them: There are many enthusiasts of vintage objects like this. Some copies, in fact, may be rare and have a certain value. For this reason it is good to find out online before selling them on the internet, or directly to collectors. Even if our video library is not particularly popular, it can find admirers on the second-hand markets. And not just among collectors: some films and documentaries can constitute a treasure for artists, archivists, directors and cinematographers. Or we could think about recycling them.
Creative recycling
Let’s remember that in recent times the nineties have come back into fashion. So let’s not throw away a piece from the 90s, but let’s think about how to reuse it! With video cassettes that we no longer use, for example, we can assemble containers, shelves and shelves. The shape and lightness of VHS lends itself quite well to the purpose. The bravest have also created shelves, bookcases, equipped walls. The result is playful but sober, with clean lines, in black and white, or to be customized with paints and enamels. All it takes is an internet search to find tons of inspirational images, or even thorough tutorials.

Even the plastic cases they can be reused in many ways. The most obvious option is to make them containers for small parts, or cases for pens and pencils. They can also become photo holders, jewelery boxes and displays, maybe with the insertion of a little foam rubber. But it doesn’t end here! The practice of recycling VHS video cassettes starting from is quite widespread among DIY enthusiasts magnetic tapes. By pulling out and intertwining the ribbons, you can make coasters, mats, containers and bags. There are those who create with plastic spools decorations, lamps, jewellery. In short, you can create so many things, so many little wonders!
In short, thanks to the internet you can find many sources of inspiration! So if you have some VHS tapes in the attic don’t throw them away, recycle them!
