Eco- Building is up-cycling plastic bottles to build artistic and affordable houses in both rural and urban communities and while creating employment for disadvantaged youths in Uganda. When plastic bottles are collected and compacted with soil, «bottle bricks» serve as useful construction material- and most importantly, bottle bricks are free of costs.
They are as strong as regular bricks, earthquake resistant, bullet proof and buffer heat. In Uganda, many individuals earn money by salvaging used bottles and reselling them on street corners for use in packaging other products like honey or oil.
