We recycle at home. Diligently. I asked everyone to save any toothpaste tubes for me. I got my first one today.
I am attempting to clean them out and re-use them for honey, oil, and anything that can be heated enough to funnel into the tube. My first experiment failed. An ounce of honey was used and it had a minty flavor. None of my recipes call for minted honey.
I inflated the tube orally, soaked it in 140*ish water until the water cooled, then rinsed with baking soda water, and repeated. I wonder if the mint taste can be removed? Any food grade ideas for cleanup? I wonder if I would waste a tube by boiling it? thanks
