1. PLASTIC BOTTLE
CONSTRUCTION

2. INTRODUCTION
WHAT IS PLASTIC?

3. Construction process
Collect the plastic bottles Fill the bottles
as many as you can. completely with dry sand

4. Construction process (cont….)
After filling the sand Laying of foundation
the bottles were tightly
packed and capped

5. Construction process (cont….)
Door frame is positioned Walls are constructed

6. Construction process (cont….)
Window frames are Outer view of bottle

7. Construction process (cont….)
Outer view of bottle Positioning beams for
brick wall holding the roof.

8. Construction process (cont….)
Roofing with sheets. completion of roofs.

9. Construction process (cont….)
Leveling the floor. Constructing the floor
with bottle bricks.

10. Construction process (cont….)
The floor is made of The tiles are laid
bottles.

17. STRENGTH
 The compacted sand inside the bottles is almost 20
times stronger than bricks.

18. 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).

19. COST ANALYSIS
The cost of this construction can
reduce 33% cost of house made of
concrete and bricks.

20. ADVANTAGES OVER BRICKS
Low cost
 Non-Brittle
Absorbs abrupt shock loads
 Bio climatic
Re-usable
Less construction material
Easy to build
Green Construction

21. 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.

22. REMEDIES TO REDUCE
DISADVANTAGES OF PLASTIC
By using the recycling process the un 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.

23. 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.

24. 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.

25. CONCLUSION (contd….)
The circular houses look cool with the
exposed round bottles producing a unique
design.
