village built with recycled plastic bottles, is not science fiction, but a project that soon will become reality. yes, in the short will be built the first ecovillage well in the middle of Panama jungle to fight the waste of waste, pollution and raise awareness towards recycling idea. the project stems from the hydra of Robert Bezeau , which is a Canadian fixed with recycling, which constructed a house built with 100,000 plastic bottles. the project in addition to being original is also very innovative and certainly will contribute to environmental protection seen that the construction of this village consists of 100 houses of the same type will help eliminate a million plastic bottles from dumpsters or from the streets of the area.
the houses will therefore all built in the same way and the walls instead of being constructed with the bricks will be formed from pressed plastic bottles and caged by resistant material; specifically, according to the findings it seems that manufacturers have in mind d i fabricate a steel cage and then fill it with plastic bottles.
O n addition to the houses will be built natural environment with green areas, a yoga pavilion, pathways, small parks for barbecues and outings, all designed to coexist with nature and the tropical jungle. The project started in 2015 and since then has been completed only a house, but the project still will last a long time because as they advance involves the construction of a real sustainable eco village.
three phases of project development and specifically provided the first has already been completed in 2015 with the construction of the first model home, while the second will begin in 2016. Given the present climate on the island of Colon , the housing does not require a heating system and the possibility of using bottles disused makes possible a kind of termoautonomia of houses, able to isolate from the extreme heat and humidity and to maintain the fresh point of dwellings to make them fully habitable without encountering dangerous temperature changes.
“the average man can consume 15 or more drinks in plastic bottles per month. Those born after 1978 and lives up to 80 years on this planet leaves a minimum of 14,400 plastic bottles. These bottles take hundreds of years to become small pieces of plastic. Most of this waste is consumed by fish and birds, significantly shortening their lifespan. If you live in a 100 square meter two-storey house made of plastic bottles, then you will reuse 14 thousand bottles and doing so could neutralize the negative effect of the passage of man on this planet. “
in Panama not only recycles the vip money and offshore companies, as shown by the recent report on ‘Panama papers’. In the state of Central America began an experiment that could open a way for the recycling of plastics: the island of Colon is building an eco-village made of empty plastic bottles.
The idea, besides avoiding release of CO2 in the air due to their destruction, it has an objective benefit to the island that need, given the tropical climate, a system that isolates the homes against heat and moisture.
The project was inspired by a first home built by engineers in 2005 with plastic bottles. It is now provided at least 120 houses, shops, a yoga pavilion, and many green areas with children’s parks and picnic areas.
