This document discusses how to construct houses using plastic bottles. It describes a 3-step process developed by Andreas Froese and his organization ECO-TEC. ECO-TEC has pioneered the use of plastic bottles in construction around the world, building over 50 eco-friendly projects in countries like Honduras, Colombia, and Bolivia. Their technique involves filling plastic bottles with mud or soil, which produces units that are as strong as bricks but have benefits like low cost, shock absorption, and support of green construction.

Waste bottles for construction? Yes, it is difficult to think of a bottle as a
brick. But a mud-filled bottle is as strong as a brick and whatever you can do with a brick, you can do with a bottle too..Plus it has got lots of advantages too... This project was done as part of our college activity.The man behind this innovative idea is a german named Andreas Froese,who is also the founder of 'ECO-TEC' .

Found in 2001 by Andreas Froese Germen citizen and its head
quarters is at Honduras Central America. ECO-TEC has done more than 50 eco friendly projects at Honduras, Columbia, Bolivia. ECO-TEC has experience working with Govt, Non-Govt and International organization. ECO-TEC has won lot of environmental awards for innovation. Developed technology to build with pet bottles which helps to reuse plastic bottles and avoid plastic menace. Developed technology to build water tanks with pet bottles.
Being a student of Architecture, I feel privileged to be part of this innovative
construction project. Building with Bottles : This is an effective solution for reusing the plastic. Bottles have the following advantages over bricks and other construction materials. 1. Low cost - You know how much a bottle costs! 2. Non-Brittle - (Unlike bricks) 3. Absorbs abrupt shock loads - Since they are not brittle,there can take up heavy loads without failure. 4. Bio climatic 5. Re-usable 6. Less construction material 7. Easy to build 8. Green Construction
