  • Plastic bottles are often seen as a waste and end up in dump sites and nothing good can come out of them.
    But could you live in a house made of plastic bottles?
    Well in northern Nigeria, a local organisation has decided to defy the odds by building house from plastic wastes.
    But why did they come up with the project?
    "We thought of one way of getting rid of this is to recycle them and on the other side you can see that we have a lot of housing problems, more than half of our masses don't ha…

    Plastic also is useful material for crafting purposes and resists water. 😉

    Yes!! I would live in a bottle house if we’re built by this company . This idea has been around for many years in Nigeria’. Some Americans are now wanting to start building them.
    Thank you for sharing

    You can gain a small section of flat plastic cutting from a bottle. Using this, or any sheet of plastic, you could 'nail' or 'tack' or attach the plastic to the caps of the bottles to make a water resistant surface. Doing this on the outside could greatly increase the buildings lifespan.

      Planet Rocker, Considering plastic can take a thousand years to decompose, probably a long time.

      The Plastic will last but the structure wont unless the plastic is mixed with the sand.

    This is highly underwhelming. Ghana is melting this plastic mixing it with sand and turning it into bricks. You wouldn't even know it is plastic and it is very cheap. This is shameful. Glorified mud house.

    • @RingoWild
      @RingoWild Před rokem +4

      Actually this method is more environmentally friendly. When you melt plastic, toxic fumes are released. The only way to avoid that is by a very, very low temperature melt. Even so, toxic fumes are released.
