Thiruvananthapuram students use 'bricks' made of plastic bottles for house

摘要

Engineering students find a novel way to reuse plastic waste. A group of civil engineering students have joined hands to design a low-cost house that provides an easy option for the reuse of plastic bottles. The final-year students of the St. Thomas Institute for Science and Technology in Kazhakuttam have collaborated for a project wherein they have experimented by replacing bricks with disposed plastic bottles to construct a 10-sq ft hexagonal structure that is 2.4 m high.
