Rebuild it Better: Construction From Recycled Plastic Bottles Proven to Withstand 9.8 Earthquake

'Rebuild It Better' examines Samarpan Foundation's ecologically friendly unique construction method that provides impoverished communities and disaster areas across India, Nepal and Africa the opportunity to construct affordable dwellings, recycle waste and create sustainable futures.
The film explores the method of ecological construction and examines how nylon-6 fishnet is used to replace steel within the structural slab and recycled plastic PET Bottles packed with earth are used to replace conventional baked bricks. Capable of withstanding up to 9.8 on the Richter scale the seismic testing of the method of construction is also examined.
The film was presented on September 11 to the United Nations Academic Impact symposium - START: Skills and Technology Accelerating Rapid Transformation: Anticipating --- and Responding to - Disasters. Presented by Samarpan Foundation Chairman, Mr Patrick San Francesco within a speech “Rebuild it Better: Construction From Recycled Plastic Bottles Proven to Sustain 9.8 Earthquake” the film was warmly received by the United Nations.

Wow. Would that we all, in every community around the world, cared so much and did even half as much. Amazing.

Hi,
We are running a small charity in UK. We love this idea. We want to build a boundary wall which is 230 feet long and 8 feet height

[@anisurkhan1775]

Do you know if we can do this without using rods or pillars?
Thanks

[@sarahhonore919]

i'm not a fluent english speakerso i don't know if i didn't guet it or if it haven't been said but i would like to know how is the first layer of fishnet helping the structure ? and how is it fixed on the ciment (is it simply put when it's dry or do we let it dry insinde the ciment / are the ropes tied to something ? ) . Thanks for the video btw i'm planning on building my house with the system !

Wow, this is pretty amazing. Those buildings are strong as fuck. I bet they will last a REAAALLY long time. Probably the only thing that would last longer would be a pure steel building.

Too bad local zoning would never pass this in the US. You would have to fight the zoning department all the way to build something like this, even with them knowing it would be helping the planet, and building more durable buildings other than stick built structures, that don't hold up without constant maintenance.
