A Nigerian transformed 14,800 wasted plastic bottles as bricks by sand-filling them to build a house in Kaduna.
The director of a non-governmental organisation, Developmental Association of Renewable Energies in Nigeria (DARE), Engr. Yahaya Ahmed expressed his satisfaction for successfully completing the house attributing it to the collective effort of his organisation.
He said that the work will encourage recycling of waste materials, create jobs and ensure a safer environment in Nigeria.
Mr Ahmed explained that workers filled the plastic bottles with sand and linked them at the neck by an intricate network of strings to build the house, which he said is the first of its kind in sub-Saharan Africa.
He said, the house can be built by anyone with little finance.
