In Panama, a village built with recycled plastic bottles – Blasting News

How many times we wondered, what really takes the recycling? What we can produce concrete and useful with recycling? The answer is … an entire village. That’s right, recycling and the attention paid to environmental sustainability can produce concrete, useful and why not nice, a house or an entire village. It is that the project of an eccentric Canadian with a passion for recycling, Robert Bezeau, who conceived and initially made a house with 10 thousand plastic bottles. The idea, original and innovative, has been expanded to a village with the premise: innovation must inevitably contribute to environmental protection. The village will consist of 100 houses built all with the same technique and the same materials, and this will help eliminate one million plastic bottles. The construction project is simple: manufacturers will manufacture a steel cage which is then filled with Plastic bottles removed from bins or from the street.

The project of the Canadian philanthropist is marked to three-step , before you can see, live and live: the First step was the construction of a single house to ascertain the actual validity of the idea, over the past year. The second phase, which began earlier this year, provides for the construction of the remaining 99 houses, according to the construction model of the prototype. The third and final stage, also aims to create a natural environment with green areas, a pavilion for the yoga , tracks and small parks with recreational facilities and locations for the barbecue. Given the climate of the Colon (site chosen for the project), the houses do not require heating. Furthermore, the use of bottles makes possible a kind of thermo-autonomy of houses, able to insulate against heat and moisture environments and keep them fresh and habitable. As shown by the bulk of the work, it is still unknown when the village will be completed. The most important thing is the thought behind it, the basic idea: the “peaceful” coexistence between humans and nature. If you liked the news, click the key follow next to the article title.
