Clay brick is now expensive due to cost of indirect materials of wood materials, transportation cost and labor cost. The process of burning bricks emits (CO2) carbon dioxide to the environmental so this causes environmental problems. Preparation of clay bricks consumes less time and energy but as the clay brick to burning in the kiln to time and energy consumed. Environmental effect transportation and other constraints make the use of clay bricks less attractive. PET Bottle can last as long as 300 years (undoubtedly longer than the cement used to bind the bottles together in the walls and columns). Clay bricks are set to be affected by vegetation, over burning, etc. But the pet bottle brick may not affected by vegetation, because it was covered by the mud or sands inside of the pet bottles. So there is no vegetation growth in structures. When compared to pet bottles there are no such drawbacks. Especially the plastic wastes in environmental is to be reduced because it reduces the vegetation growth and it does not decompose soon.

4. INTRODUCTION
 Plastic bottles have substantial dangerous impact on
environment.
 Two alternative solutions against plastic bottle disposal are
recycling and reusing
 Can be reused in construction
 Sand filled plastic bottles- Bottle bricks
 Whatever can be done with a brick can be done with a bottle.

5. STUDY ON PET BOTTLES
 Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is a thermoplastic
polymer resin of polyester family.
 Used in synthetic fibers, beverage, liquid containers.
 80 billion plastic bottles manufactured each year.
 60 billions are not recycled.
 For each ton of bottle recycled 1.7 tons of CO2 emissions
prevented.

6. Source of PET bottles
 PET bottles are seen everywhere.
 Consumption of PET :
 Commercial users – 1-170kg/day
 Hotels- 7.5kg/day
 Caterers 11.75kg/day.
 Can purchase from scrap dealers at Rs.1 per bottle.

8. PET bottle in construction
 Idea was first introduced by Andreas Froese.
 ECOTEC technique used for replacing the brick by plastic
bottles.
 Plastic an ideal material for building.
 Any structure made with it can last a couple of hundred
years or more.

9. PET bottle in construction
 Low cost and maintenance.
 Good chemical resistance.
 Strong, durable and versatile.
 Act as heat insulators.
 Can withstand heavy shock loads.
 Help reduce carbon emissions during baking of bricks.

10. PET bottle in construction..
 Lighter than the walls built by
brick and block.
 Resistance against the load is
higher as compared to brick.
 Makes the building as a
bulletproof shelter.
 This technology uses only 5%
of cement.
 Green construction

11. Method of construction
1. Collect as many discarded
plastic bottles .
2. Fill the bottles with
mud/M-sand/Normal sand

19. GREEN FLOATING BREAKWATER
 Breakwaters are structures to protect the coastal areas.
 Green floating breakwater- Plastic bottles replacing
conventional material.
 Bottles used were of:
 500ml volume
 0.06m diameter
 0.2m high

20. GREEN FLOATING BREAKWATER
 This concept is under
development and research.
 Small scale physical model was
built with 1260 plastic bottles.

25. CONCLUSION
 Waste creation will be greatly reduced
 can help in conserving the nonrenewable resources
 Recycling needs additional energy
 The best solution is reusing
 Real contribution to green house gas reduction
