Description_ About 350 million Plastic bottles are
dumped in the garbage cans all over the world in a
single Day.
Plastic and Plastic bottles are one of the major portions
of the amount of urban waste and consumes
high amount of energy to re-use by the process of
melting.
Another such material is paper. Every person in an
urban area consumes and throws 500 pounds of
paper each year.
Paper is another substantial element in urban
waste.
The PPCB and PPCBi are made using the plastic
bottles by only altering their physical forms using
minimal energy consuming methods such as cutting
rather than melting.
Paper is made into a pulp and used in the bricks
upto 60% of the total ingredients and hence the
resulting brick is light weight and sturdy due to the
fibrous nature of paper.
The Paper is bound by cement and plastic strings.In
the PPCBi the circular cross sections of the bottles
are used to allow light and air ventilation in the
enclosed space.
