DURABILITY
The plastic bottles are re known for their durability. STRENGTH
This type of construction is more durable than that of brick The compacted sand inside the bottles is almost 20
construction. times stronger than bricks.
The bottles can last as long as 300 years (undoubtedly longer
than the cement used to bind the bottles together in the walls).
ADVANTAGES OVER BRICKS DISADVANTAGES :
Low cost 1. It is un-decomposable and in
Non-Brittle destructible.
Absorbs abrupt shock loads 2. 2. When it is melted it releases a
Bio climatic compound gas which is very harmful to
Re-usable health and environment.
Less construction material 3. 3. It weakens the ozone layer.
Easy to build 4. 4. Most plastic is produce from the oil
Green Construction and the world is running short of oil.
5. 5. The threatening disadvantage is
pollution.

REMEDIES TO REDUCE DISADVANTAGES OF PLASTIC

By using the recycling process the un decomposition of plastic can be reduced
Scientists are now developing plastics that are made from vegetable oil and
other organic matter. This means that the plastic is more likely to be
degradable, and so it will be safe in future.
Now -a- day renewable plastic is manufactured by oil by products and
natural gases, so this proves to be better in the future generations.
