It seems that plastic bottles filled with sand are better construction material than bricks because of resistance, thermal isolation and durability. That's what I read online. Cool idea!
What is with the negativity? Someone has thought, what to do with this vessal that lasts FOREVER that is cloging up our oceans, landfill etc. we have plenty of sand and lots of lovely hepfull people. Lets build a school. Instead of diging a big hole to get clay, molding it, burning fuel to bake them. The reason why people don't do more things like this is just down to ignorance and laziness.
I can't see why people would need to bitch and moan since the half life for pet bottle is 450 years, it would have been even better if they had been building with glassbottles since the half life of glass is one million years.
Dear Sir, how kind of you to post this wonderful innovation. Please answer these interesting questions about this bottle classroom. Temperature inside and outside in hot summer please. Temperature inside and outside in coldest winter please. Video showing sound of alls when thumped please. What damage to the wall has occurred since the making of this wall? Thank you , may you be blessed in your work and life.
I absolutely love this way of building!!! It allows for very little monetary input, even less if one uses cob/adobe clay, sand, straw/fiber mixture instead of cement!!! I plan on building this way or similar, but I will be using cob/adobe mixture not cement!!! The only thing I would advise anyone to change just to make the structure even more strong, not that it isn't already but this would add against all types of threats towards even better strength, that would be to alternate the bottles! I would do every other bottle in the opposite direction, i.e. bottom then top, then bottom and so forth, instead of all bottles facing the same direction, and this will allow for fish net, or chicken wire or string wrapped around every lid, to be on the inner and outer side of wall giving the cob or cement mixture on both sides something to grab on to, plus it would make the thickness of the cob or cement thicker by a supported means of the net and the necks of the bottles making both sides of wall all the more strong and stable without the need of any extra support being added!!!! Just my humble idea! I hope it helps someone!!!
What an awesome idea, ending homelessness in America!!! And with a solution to the ever growing problem of plastic bottles occurring in America's refuse sites. Thanks for such an incredible video.
I think this is great! Way to think outside of the box and make a difference for the better. Forget about all the negativity Nancys on here. Keep with it guys! Cheers from Austin!
+James Watt This type of construction is actually more earthquake resistant than traditional building methods. It's the rigidity of masonry walls that cause them to fail during an earthquake. The plastic is less rigid and allows the building to move with the earth to an extent. Think of the building as being made out of thousands of small shock-absorbers.
wrong them bottles are round and soft plastic ..bricks would hold up long before the round soft plastic bottles! Bottles and bricks theres no comparison and 11 ppl liked the fact of such a statement. Theres no way bottles stacked are even close to bricks stacked!
Although I agree using modern construction components is always the best route, this structure is incredibly durable under earthquake conditions. ruclips.net/video/7MAaCQCzgbs/видео.html
Une idée génial! En plus de fournir un abris, un établissement d'apprentissage dans le cas présent. Cette construction recycle les bouteilles en une construction utile qui, réduira la pollution de notre environnement! Wow! C'est fantastique! Économe! Et, tellement pratique pour fournir un abris aux personnes à faible revenu! Tels que, les sans-abris de nos villes lors, des froids hivernales! J'ai publié! Merci!
so the bottles are fixed w mortar, then what else? is is just cement on the inside walls and outside? or is it a special mix or brand or something?? hey looks great and took lots of time..
Good, how about plumbing and electrical conduits ...how it is done??....suppose to be inside the wall...and then plastering....can u plz make the video of the same..i would like to try as an experiment
They decompose in sunlight over time I believe - but remember they are covered with plaster in this application, so they are not directly exposed. With the unbelievably limited availability of resources in areas like these, this type of construction can be a god-send, even if it does not last a 100 years (and hey, it just might do that).
First of all, great job. How this house behave in front of a natural hazard? Seismologically I think this would behaves well because of the elasticity, but in front of a strong storm, a flash flood or something simillar... did you have any expert in house risk? I am not trying to denigrate the house, I just want to know it.
The bottles are filled with soil or sand to make them CRUSH RESISTANT and provide THERMAL MASS. You can add an outside layer of empty bottles (filled with air) to insulate the Thermal Mass.
I'd like to iterate on a few points of building like this as I am a Builder myself, after extensive research on PET building, and if others did theirs too they would find that not only are they bullet proof, they are also fire proof and more resistant to earthquakes than conventional homes being built today, no as to the earthquake part this is only fact if the "bricks" are supported to each other using string. Other than that these are one of the best ecologically friendly building styles I have come across and am currently building my own family home based on this style of building
What a great idea! Insulation and moisture issues are taken care of.I guess the building cost is negligible compared to a standard concrete home.You can save on renting a house and build a more traditional home later,if the need arises.
This is a cool concept. I wonder how long this structure will last? It has no real support beams. It's definitely not hurricane proof. The roof would come flying off.
Kelz Folau Shipping containers are low cost and easy to work with not sure if it's really eco friendly but it's kinda recycling. Might be stronger than this design but this is still a very interesting idea and if you don't have to worry about hurricanes blowing your roof away this design would work fine I think.
What A great idea Can’t thank that soul enough who thought of this noble creation and saving Mother Earth from this huge pile of plastic garbage Recently an NGO Team (forgot the name)visited my school in Mandawali Patparganj and Inspired me for plastic bottles filled with waste plastic wrappers pushed INSIDE them which could be used as Bricks for building houses Being Eco Club incharge my students are also collecting bottles . Now I want to know how to send these bottles to you so that these can be used Can anybody collect it from my school SKV no 2 Mandawali Patparganj Delhi 92
@barcenasfrank Do you always think NEGATIVE? This is a brilliant idea/concept of people using what they can readily get their hands on to achieve something worthwhile and needed! (There is in fact a Pub in NZ that was built over 50 years ago mainly using beer bottles! (I think the contents were used first to prevent waste!)
you have big hearts, guys!!!! it is so amazing and inspiring!! I`d like to do the same!! please, can u tell about technology of your construction???? I'll be very grateful to u!!!!
Question: How long before the bottles break down? and had the material (i.e. plastic bottle bricks been tested for "off gassing? Thank you in advance for providing the answers to these questions.
In (sadly) normal conditions, aka laying on ground in the sun with a lot of exposure to the elements, a plastic bottle can last somewhere between 100 and 500 years. These eco bricks also have a varient where you can stuff shredded plastic inside the bottles and not use sand. It takes a little more force to compress but it's even more sustainable. Covering the eco bricks in mortar is going to double the lifespan of the bottles with aproximation. Ensuring that each bottle is covered up nicely will keep water and air out. Insulating and plastering will keep the bottle walls in tip top shape for a lot of time. You can esentally cover the walls in anything you like, just make sure the bottles themselfes are stuffed to the brim and completly covered in mortar.
This is a great idea! Now if only I could get over what might happen to bottle-housing in the PNW when Mt.Rainier goes off, or a major earthquake hits. I can only see this working in a place where it is dry and there are no natural catastrophes other than the standard drought. Just food for thought. Great idea for warm dry climates though. :P
Stuff like this reminds me how beautiful humanity is
it's being realistic with world's conditions and we have to deal with it ... this is amazing guys ...
Exactly this.
It seems that plastic bottles filled with sand are better construction material than bricks because of resistance, thermal isolation and durability. That's what I read online.
Cool idea!
What a creative way to keep this product out of the landfill! This may even provide all the insulation they need. Kudos!
dis really touch my heart...... dis is a real education......nothing is useless.... India says throw plastic.....but dey make it valuable
If this idea caught on. The demand for plastic bottles would surge. No more pollution in our waterways oceans.
What is with the negativity?
Someone has thought, what to do with this vessal that lasts FOREVER that is cloging up our oceans, landfill etc. we have plenty of sand and lots of lovely hepfull people. Lets build a school.
Instead of diging a big hole to get clay, molding it, burning fuel to bake them.
The reason why people don't do more things like this is just down to ignorance and laziness.
Dont worry, I thought the same thing whilst cruising the comment section. People being negative and criticizing.
They are feeding their egos only.
I think this is very resourceful if you have the ability to get free building materials why not use them?
Digging has two ds.
I can't see why people would need to bitch and moan since the half life for pet bottle is 450 years, it would have been even better if they had been building with glassbottles since the half life of glass is one million years.
WR Mesher you mean g’s. And there are actually 3 of them.
Amazing and truly inspiring. The things we can do if we only set our minds to it. Thank you for this video.
Excellent idea useful for many creative minded people.

im gonna make me a plastic bottle house in my back yard this is hell of awsome
Have you did it?
….hell no 😫….I was 15 when I wrote this ?? lmfaooo ….I bet the thought was nice at the time tho 🤣
Nice project. It provides a lot of job opportunities and is also a way of recycling plastic bottles.

Thank you , may you be blessed in your work and life.
I was confused in making a house with little money.Now I got a clear idea.thank you.
We create = we are creator= this is a grand idea - so proud of you guys
Humans are not the Creators
Yes they are!

THE AMAZING CONSTRUCTION I HAVE EVER SEEN
felt so inspired and happy when seeing new innovation had improve lives in the 3rd world country.
Wonder if these would be good for soundproofing?
I think this is great! Way to think outside of the box and make a difference for the better. Forget about all the negativity Nancys on here. Keep with it guys! Cheers from Austin!
South African government should take time off their extremely busy schedule and learn a thing or two... This is simply amazing!!!
Love this construction, and using fishnet... never thought of that! Also LOVE the music!
Yeah could you tell us hat music is it ?
This has to be implemente right now.
Thanks for the idea.

Good point makes sense now that I think about it.

How to install water pipe and and drill these walls?
This is really a great project. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
I love this idea. I want to learn more!!!
Seems like a great idea. But What happens in a quake situation?

Bien vu!
I love the idea! I wonder what temperature the building is?
Great, practical use of our wasted bottles but I just wonder how safe this is.....
Love form Pakistan! Great Idea
Wow most amazing thing I have seen! Love it!
so the bottles are fixed w mortar, then what else? is is just cement on the inside walls and outside? or is it a special mix or brand or something?? hey looks great and took lots of time..
Fantastic Project,Cheers
would this work in a somewhat cold place? I guess the PET bottles provide good insulation...
Wow great job ..this is all about thinking outside of the box 😍
One of the best videos out there
Good, how about plumbing and electrical conduits ...how it is done??....suppose to be inside the wall...and then plastering....can u plz make the video of the same..i would like to try as an experiment
very good i take my cap of to you all lol brilliant now you can teach the kids to do the same fair play im impressed
wow !!!i jus stumbled on this can this be possible....interesting well done

Maybe if I would start developing country, I would use this idea. Thanks!
Then what do you use for foundation
This is so innovative!
शानदार शुरुआत
Sangat kreatif dan ramah lingkungan.....jadi pengen buat...
First of all, great job.
How this house behave in front of a natural hazard? Seismologically I think this would behaves well because of the elasticity, but in front of a strong storm, a flash flood or something simillar... did you have any expert in house risk?
I am not trying to denigrate the house, I just want to know it.
THAT was inCREDIBLE!
Great inspiring work , appreciate your idea and efforts
Innovation , wonderful ....
Great use of 'waste' materials!
well done guys nice job
this is amazing.. very resourceful..
Isn't there a video like this with better instructions that has a voice on it? I am looking for that one, please link me if you know it.
is this building have a strength similar to that of building cinstructed with bricks?
great job guys!!!
very clever,nice video

You can add an outside layer of empty bottles (filled with air) to insulate the Thermal Mass.
I love this construction and this building style
Too many people have missed the point in the comment section, however, it's nice to see that many did not.
Throw some siding and some drywall up and you wouldn’t even know what it was made of this is actually brilliant
This is wonderful! Maybe they need volunteers in the future?
its fentastic creation .........

"and" as opposed to "no" about earthquakes :)
Would love to see the results !
Great job!
I too was wondering how strong it would be --- if it's durable it's a great idea
Is it fireproof please tell
Cool. Good idea
What a great idea! Insulation and moisture issues are taken care of.I guess the building cost is negligible compared to a standard concrete home.You can save on renting a house and build a more traditional home later,if the need arises.

YES --- Dome the ceilings not flat that way the winds blow over not like wings on airplane.
Please do make a research on them. These houses I've read so
Matt Carrasquillo Not only curve design but wind power muti tasking
See live then comment Outside Protection I am commenting
but how much does it cost to build?
Nice vedio,are these clay filled bottles walls echo/energy friendly I mean it heat resistantance??
wow. you guys are amazing. keep it up.
you know this is a great ideal !
Wow, Wow, Wow, GREAT. Love, Peace, and Divine Bliss Hossi

Can we use dirt instead of sands?

Question: How long before the bottles break down? and had the material (i.e. plastic bottle bricks been tested for "off gassing?

I think plastic takes about 500 years to breakdown i think
In (sadly) normal conditions, aka laying on ground in the sun with a lot of exposure to the elements, a plastic bottle can last somewhere between 100 and 500 years.
These eco bricks also have a varient where you can stuff shredded plastic inside the bottles and not use sand. It takes a little more force to compress but it's even more sustainable.
