Plastic Bottle House.

The Zamorano Ecoparque in Honduras shows a variety of structures made of stacked and mortared plastic bottles. Eco-Tec company used 8,000 bottles to complete the park’s ‘Ecological House’ with composting toilets and a solar water heating system. The green roof can weigh 30 tons when wet and has been supported by the walls without any extra reinforcement. It is the first house in the world made from PET bottles without using cement in the walls. Other plastic bottle structures on the same property include a greenhouse and a replica of a Roman aqueduct.
