Bottle House, or the second life of old things

It is hard to imagine a more in demand in any economy thing, than a conventional plastic bottle. In the capable hands of beushnye plastic packaging finds a second life. From the cut of the neck of the bottle, you can make a great funnel.

Bottles of 1.5, 5 or 10 liters can be transformed into a system for storing nails, screws, bolts, washers and other small metal fasteners.

Of plastic bottles make bird feeders, flower pots, etc.

In short, enough to be smart, and a plastic bottle a long time to serve, but in a different capacity.

Experimenters from South America have reflected on the question of disposal of thousands of plastic bottles that are thrown away every day in the trash locals.

Based on this, the engineers decided that a plastic bottle - this is an excellent building material, as well as Glass bottleSuitable for the construction of small and cheap houses. Backwardness only consider constructive. As an experiment, the researchers decided to build a house out of plastic bottles 8x8 meters.

Technology is as follows: the washed and sorted by size bottles are inserted into the volumetric Fittings wire frame. Moreover, due to a combination of standard sizes of plastic containers can build a variety of homes - from simple rectangular designs to more complex multi-faceted projects.

After filling the bottles frame the house inside and out otshtukaturivaetsya and particularly loaded places concreted.

According to calculations, using this technique, it is possible to build houses up to two floors. Moreover, since the air remains, which is a heat insulator, the house (including the local warm climate) does not need to warm bottles.

Break in the idea, the researchers plan to develop it further. They want to build a village with 120 houses, where every building (including administrative) will be built from plastic bottles.

Thus, the experimenters think to solve the problem of disposal of plastic containers and thereby provide jobs for local residents.

Another idea was the production of so-called South Americans Building walling panels, something resembling technology «Tilt-up»Size: 240h120h2.5 see.

The panel is formed from plastic waste. For this sorted and cleaned plastic (bottles, containers, etc.) were cut into small pieces and then melted at a temperature of 350 ° C. Further, the mass is poured into a special mold and placed in a press to yield building panels. For especially critical nodes in the form of pre-placed reinforcement cage.

The experiment was so successful that for the production of plastic panels was built mini-mill, a refiner of about 6 tons of plastic per day and produce up to 120 panels.

According to the developers, the success of the concept is only possible with a large number of cheap and available raw material. To do this, set up a special transport service scrappage market for collection of plastic waste from the local population.
