Forget dry wall. Some use PET bottles and mud.


I have recently received an email from Brazil with these pictures of a house being constructed with PET bottles and mud. I searched all over the web for a source, but only came across other Brazilians asking the same question.

PET packaging is used for soft drinks and soda bottles among other things and it’s a big polluter of land and the sea. I’m not sure about the environmental impact of these new constructions, but I admire the creativity. ~J.S.

  1. Correction! Not Brazil... We have actually learned that the source for this site is as follows: http://www.treehugger.com/files/2010/03/lawyer-turned-architect-builds-recycled-homes-for-people-in-need-will-travel-to-haiti.php
