House made from recycled bottles

by on January 22, 2010

A group of young environmental activists in Bolivia have built a house using recycled bottles.

The group filled 25,000 plastic bottles with sand to build the walls and once stacked, the bottles were reinforced with steel and cement.

The first of the “bottle houses” was completed in Warnes, an impoverished town in the eastern province of Santa Cruz. The enthusiastic group plans to build ten more houses and turn the place into a tourist attraction to educate people about recycling products and the environmental issues.
