\u201cOoooh, a jar, a tiny little jar,\u201d the overlapping voices of the popular social audio say in a hushed, awed tone, evoking an intrusive thought. \u201cKeep the jar with the other jars.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

Jess Lynch, an artist in Toronto, made the audio on a whim. Among her friends, she\u2019s known as the one whose dishwasher is always filled with jars.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Not just any old jar, mind you. Lynch has standards. \u201cIt\u2019s gotta be a solid mason jar,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s gotta have a lid.\u201d Other qualities that make a container worth keeping? A good seal, watertight, completely see-through, no sticky labels. If it doesn\u2019t meet her standards, it goes straight to recycling.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Still, she savors the chance to take a container for another spin. \u201cI love reusing,\u201d Lynch told Vox. \u201cWhy would I go to the dollar store and buy to-go cups that have to go in the garbage when I could take my little pasta sauce jar that I picked out from dinner last night [and] fill it up with a little savvy B?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\n

When other people started using the clip as a soundtrack for showing off their own jar stashes, she realized she had struck a chord. The community of collectors is legion.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

More than half of American grocery shoppers reuse their glass containers, according to an EcoFocus survey commissioned by the Glass Packaging Institute (GPI). Nineteen percent reuse them for food storage, 14 percent repurpose them for tasks such as organizing and crafting, and another 20 percent reuse them and then recycle them later. Meanwhile, about 30 percent choose to recycle them immediately after use. (Whether you reuse it a hundred times or throw it in the recycling right afterward doesn\u2019t affect how recyclable the glass is, per GPI president Scott DeFife, because the material is \u201cendlessly recyclable.\u201d)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

People who stockpile jars, bottles, and other containers often hold onto them with some glorious intended future purpose in mind. What once held store-bought pasta sauce could stow lentils, leftovers, or that pickling project you\u2019re definitely about to start. Perhaps all of those glass olive containers could become a set of chic matching centerpieces for a dinner party you throw down the line. And there\u2019s nothing better to hold a propagating plant stem than a buxom bottle. The container may be empty, yet it\u2019s full of possibility.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The satisfaction of stashing<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Monica Chavez, the content creator behind House of Esperanza, said she began saving jars when she was a kid. \u201cI come from very humble beginnings,\u201d she told Vox. \u201cWe didn\u2019t have much growing up, so repurposing, recycling, and finding a use for everything was critically important.\u201d Sour cream containers held leftover food. Old coffee tins became planters.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

And that sensibility stuck with her, which she describes as, \u201cYeah, this is a cute jar, I am going to get the most out of it. \u2026 It\u2019s that human need to make use of the things you spend your money on.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Chavez will go out of her way to acquire the right container. She finds that the jar for the Rao\u2019s sauce sold at Costco, for instance, is a more useful shape than the one at grocery stores. She\u2019ll even pay a little bit more if it means she can hold onto the vessel. For example, she buys Oui yogurt, which comes in glass jars with a foil top. \u201cI bought a set of bamboo lids and now I repurpose those,\u201d she said, adding that the jars can store overnight oats, salsa, or other food, or be used by her daughter when she\u2019s watercoloring. Chavez has noticed companies being more savvy about packaging \u201ctheir products in a way so that the product can continue to live on in those people\u2019s homes\u2026and then it kind of becomes free branding for them.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Yoplait, the manufacturer of Oui, is definitely aware of the appeal of its container. It has an entire page on its website dedicated to \u201cjar crafts\u201d such as wedding table centerpieces, mini topiary trees, and beauty organizers. Jam company Bonne Maman similarly has a webpage filled with DIY \u201chacks\u201d for its iconic jars with red gingham tops. \u201cReusing your empty jars is the perfect way to enjoy Bonne Maman, even after the last spoonful!\u201d it says.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

While Chavez has \u201ca lot of jars in rotation constantly,\u201d she also regularly culls her collection. \u201cIf the cabinet won\u2019t close, it\u2019s time,\u201d she said. She\u2019ll often list them on Facebook Marketplace or in a \u201cbuy nothing\u201d group. \u201cLet them live on somewhere else instead of immediately trying to recycle them,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\n

Rachael Engelhardt of Trader Joe\u2019s Kitchen and Food With Hardt is a big-time stockpiler who said she\u2019s currently \u201cat max capacity\u201d with her jar collection. But when one of them goes home with a friend or the lid gets rusty, there\u2019ll be an opening in her cabinet for more. She regularly puts them to use because \u201cI have to justify keeping them all in my kitchen.\u201d One of her most coveted containers to reuse is a spice grinder \u2014 if she buys one that holds, say, black peppercorns, it might end up grinding up an entirely different seasoning later.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Lynch, Chavez, and Engelhardt all seem to actually take advantage of the various jars and bottles they stash. But for others, that\u2019s not quite how it goes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cI\u2019ve seen desirable jars and I\u2019ve saved them, like, one-off,\u201d Sally Augustin, an environmental psychologist and a principal at Design With Science, told Vox. \u201cOnly usually, in fact, always in the past, it comes to a point where I\u2019ve had it for a while and I realize, I\u2019ve never put anything in this jar. I think it\u2019s time for it to be recycled, and off it will go.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Augustin said that many of these containers seem \u201cinherently potentially useful\u201d but, when it comes down to it, \u201cwe probably actually have better options.\u201d As she sees it, jars might appeal to people\u2019s nostalgia, or folks might like the look of it, or want to believe they are the kind of person who will reuse vessels. But when those containers gather dust rather than color-coordinated art supplies or heirloom seeds, it might be time to admit defeat. You don\u2019t need an increasingly crowded shelf of empty jars reminding you of your failure to meal prep or make eye-catching terrariums. In that case, the ultimate container \u2014 the recycling bin \u2014 can relieve you of this burden.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The impact of reusing jars on the planet<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Even though this practice falls under the dictionary definition of \u201creuse,\u201d is it actually helping the planet? Not particularly. Paul Ferraro, a Johns Hopkins University professor who studies human behavior and public policy, said that this kind of \u201cconsumerism-sided decision-making has very little effect on the environment, positively or negatively.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Ferraro gets the impulse. \u201cThese minor decisions make us feel better psychologically,\u201d himself included, he told Vox. But individual choices such as plastic versus glass or paper versus plastic \u201cdo not matter in a meaningful way compared to collective changes in how we manage our environment,\u201d he said. It\u2019s not that these decisions are utterly meaningless; more that they\u2019re overall \u201cwithout significant impact,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

If reusing jars you already have keeps you from buying a slew of Tupperware online, great. But if the hunger to acquire new and better reusable vessels has you ordering glass containers from e-commerce sites and getting them shipped overnight, you might be canceling out any of that good when you account for packaging, emissions, and manufacturing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Ferraro \u201cwould not encourage anybody to waste much time\u201d agonizing over specific decisions like glass versus plastic \u2014\u201cworrying about whether there\u2019s an optimal choice for packaging is misplaced energy.\u201d The calculations that go into it are complicated and very variable, with little to show for it in the end. Glass has higher upfront environmental impacts than plastic, per Ferraro: producing it is energy intensive, and it\u2019s heavier so it costs more to transport. The concern with plastic, meanwhile, is what happens after its disposal \u2014 if it\u2019s treated as litter, it\u2019ll break down and leach microplastics into the environment. And your ability to recycle it depends on the recycling practices where you live. \u201cSo by and large, the rule of thumb is if I\u2019m going to reuse that glass and it\u2019s going to displace other purchases that I would have made, then the glass can be a better choice,\u201d he says. \u201cBut the difference is going to be tiny.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Of course, it\u2019s much easier to commit to reusing containers than, say, utterly changing the way the United States manufactures products \u2014 the latter feels a little above our individual pay grade. But if you want to do your part as an individual to stop climate change, Ferraro says forgoing a cross-country plane ride \u201cwould be vastly more impactful on the environment than any of my consumer decisions throughout the whole year,\u201d he said. Ensuring your home is well-insulated is another more effective choice.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

So if you\u2019re torturing yourself by holding onto containers you\u2019ll never use for the sake of Mother Earth, release your chains and toss them in the recycling bin. But for many collectors, it\u2019s not about that.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Lynch said that she thinks of the spirit of her grandmother whenever she puts something from her jar collection to good purpose. \u201cEvery time I find a new use for something that I have hung onto for a while, I feel vindicated,\u201d she said. \u201cLike, oh, I knew there was a reason I was keeping this.\u201d<\/p>\n
