NIGERIA JUST GAVE SOLUTION TO WORLDS BIGGEST PROBLEM
Number of plastic bottles produced in 1 second globally: 20,000
Number of plastic bottles produced in 1 minute : 1,200,000
On an average we produce 630 billion plastic bottles per year.
Plastic as we know is a non-biodegradable substance as it take 700–1000 years to degrade because of presence of complex polymers in it, and is one of the major cause of pollution nowadays, but we can use plastic bottles in the construction of our house by following bottle brick technology.
This "bottle brick" technology started sixteen years ago in India, South and Central America, providing a cost-effective, environmentally-friendly alternative to conventional building bricks.
Following is a process.
Step 1: Filling used plastic bottles with sand.
Step 2: Using ‘sand filled water bottles’ instead of bricks in construction of the house.
Step 3: A house, now ready for living, is made up of from plastic bottles and bricks.
These colorful homes are bulletproof, fireproof, and can withstand earthquakes. They also maintain a comfortable temperature, produce zero carbon emissions, and are powered by solar and methane gas from recycled waste
