In this our days we lived in, things we often regard as nothing can be our life hope. I was really amazed when i saw this. That the plastic bottles we individuals commonized can be use for construction of house. Wow is so amazing.
The following benefits are gained to the whole environment and society by employing plastic bottles in building construction:
- The total waste generated is reduced
- The source of building material is local. No additional cost for the same
- The natural resources are preserv
- The carbon footprint is reduced
- The plastic bottle is inexpensive
- The technology used is small and easy to implement
The bottle construction techniques and their benefits must be spread and educate the local community. They are the group of people who are most benefitted by low-cost construction.
The local community can be involved in such projects as they can help in collecting plastic bottles and the waste materials from the project site. This togetherness will help in developing a sustainable building from the recycled materials.
The end users have a much greater sense of ownership in the project, as they have greater involvement in the material sourcing or in the building process. This can help in maintaining the structure and its purpose.
