Are you stuffing your ecobricks right?

ecobrick

In case you don’t know this environmental movement yet, The Plastic Solution is a two-year-old drive for ecological sustainability that works to minimize, if not eliminate, non-biodegradable waste through production of “ecobricks.”

Ecobricks are repurposed plastic bottles stuffed with non-biodegradable wastes like plastic, straws, sachets, and food wrappers. Cut down hard plastics like egg containers and cutlery can be included as well, as long as they fit in the bottle.

When already packed, ecobricks will be used as alternative fillers in constructing walls and fences for houses, establishments—even garden pots and benches.

If you want to participate in this campaign or if you’re already doing this, here are some donation guidelines you need to take note of. We don’t want our efforts to be wasted, right?

“We are also releasing these guides because we often receive bottles that are only half-stuffed, or sometimes even stuffed with biodegradable materials,” writes The Plastic Solution in their Facebook post.

If the ecobricks aren’t packed to their absolute limit, the people behind the campaign who manage the bricks can’t accept them. A brick’s hollowness may “affect the structural integrity of the build.”
