House made from 3000-4000 Recycled PET Plastic Bottles ( (प्लास्टिक की बोतल से बनाऐ घर)

Plastic is one of the most disposable materials in the modern world. It makes up much of the street side litter in urban and rural areas. It is rapidly filling up landfills as well as choking water bodies. PET Plastic bottles make up approximately 11% of the content of landfills, causing serious environmental consequences.

Yuva Parivartan India has chosen to transform and repurpose this overlooked and environmentally harmful plastic bottle into one that is a useful resource. We have constructed a functional living space, using hundreds of used PET bottles instead of conventional bricks. Discarded PET (Polyethelene Terephthalate) bottles were collected, manually sorted by size, compactly filled with mud and sealed. Then these bottle bricks were cemented together to construct the floor, walls and roof of the dwelling.

Plastic has high tensile strength to weight ratio which makes it strong, durable and versatile. Yuva Parivaratan has used this concept to reinforce walls of Kurmaghars in Gadchiroli.

Our Project –
Yuva Parivartan, through its, Swachh Survekshan movement in Gadchiroli has come up with a plastic recycled eco-friendly Period Hut technology. The technology will help build safe and hygienic clean Kurmaghars or Period Huts by recycling used plastic bottles. This will not only create safe healthy Period Huts but address issues such as the waste disposal challenge of communities in Gadchiroli, change behaviours and mindsets around maintaining/ sustaining a healthy environment.

Building with Plastic Bottles Benefits -
Bottles have the following advantages over bricks and other construction materials.

1. Low cost - You know how much a bottle costs!
2. Non-Brittle - (Unlike bricks)
3. Absorbs abrupt shock loads - Since they are not brittle,there can take up heavy loads without failure.
4. Bio climatic
5. Re-usable
6. Less construction material
7. Easy to build
8. Green Construction
