 STRENGTH
The compacted sand inside the bottles is
almost 20 times stronger than bricks.
 DURABILITY
The plastic bottles are re known for their
durability.

This type of construction is more durable than

that
of brick construction.
The bottles can last as long as 300 years
(undoubtedly longer than the cement used to
bind
the bottles together in the walls).
 COST ANALYSIS
The cost of this construction can
reduce 33% cost of house made of
concrete and bricks.
 ADVANTAGES OVER
BRICKS
Low cost
Non-Brittle
Absorbs abrupt shock loads
Bio climatic
Re-usable
Less construction material
Easy to build
Green Construction
DISADVANTAGES :
1. It is un-decomposable and in destructible.
2. When it is melted it releases a compound
gas which is very harmful to health and
environment.
3. It weakens the ozone layer.
4. Most plastic is produce from the oil and the
world is running short of oil.
5. The threatening disadvantage is pollution.
REMEDIES TO REDUCE
DISADVANTAGES OF
By using the recycling process the un
PLASTIC
decomposition of plastic can be reduced
Scientists are now developing plastics that are
made from vegetable oil and other organic
matter. This means that the plastic is more
likely to be degradable, and so it will be safe in
future.
Now -a- day renewable plastic is manufactured
by oil by products and natural gases, so this
proves to be better in the future generations.
 CONCLUSION
By using this simple technology, these
houses are ideal for hot climate because
the bottle bricks buffer the house from
intense heat. It is also used in the places
known for the violence like Kashmir
because the houses are completely bullet
proof.
CONCLUSION (contd.)
The bottles which are required for the
plastic bottles construction are mostly
sourced from hotels, restaurants, homes
and near any tourist places, so the 500
million bottles that are discarded each year
in Nigeria alone are literally finding new
homes instead of land fills or the ocean.
CONCLUSION (contd.)
The circular houses look cool with the
exposed round bottles producing a unique
design.
