Rubbish bin inspires Taiwan's plastic bottle building

A building made from recycled plastic PET bottles has been built in the Taiwanese capital, Taipei.

The country is famous for having a large number of convenience stores, but the population's love of fast-food has resulted in residents consuming a vast amount of bottled beverages - up to 4.6 billion a year.

Beer+Sunshine = Hot Water

A Chinese farmer has made his own solar-powered water heater out of beer bottles and hosepipes.
'I invented this for my mother. I wanted her to shower comfortably,' says Ma Yanjun, of Qiqiao village, Shaanxi province. Ma's invention features 66 beer bottles attached to a board. The bottles are connected to each other so that water flows through them.

The DeBRICK Project

The idea of the project is to reuse debris (building components that come from the demolition of buildings), to concentrate dust and to put them together, so to form a new building material, the deBRICK. Debris (mostly the non-recyclable), dust, bacteria, PET (which comes from the recycling of plastic bottles) is the consistency of the deBRICK.
