What is an ecobrick?
How to make an ecobrick
Chose a plastic bottle of your choice and directly put all your dry plastic wrappings into a plastic bottle.
Clean and/or dry all your wet plastic wrappings in the sunlight and when they are dry, put them in the plastic bottle with using your fingers.
When the plastic bottle starts becoming full, use a stick or metal rod to press the plastics in the bottle so that it can become hard and dense for construction.
Keep your densely packed plastic bottle for construction.
This is how strong your ecobrick can be.
Packing single-use light weight plastics and plastics into bottles can help stop plastic pollution and create plastic reserves which can be exploited in the future. When we segregate and pack plastics into bottles, we can make building blocks that can be reused over and over again.
Some of our plastic creative products include the UPB Tree Nursery Pots, the UPB Vertical Gardens, Umbrella Buckets, etc.

When I was on holiday recently i watched my niece painstakingly rolling plastic up and putting it into a plastic bottle. I wondered what she was up to but didn't get a chance to ask her.
Now I know! What an excellent idea.
Thank you for explaining it.
