These Nigerians take the recycling award because they are building homes, which are fireproof, bulletproof, and eco-friendly using plastic bottles and mud!!

The technique used to build these innovative homes is called bottle walls. Plastic bottles are filled with mud and then stacked with cement. These houses produce zero carbon emissions and maintain good temperatures. The best part is this technique addresses pollution and shortage of housing simultaneously.

See the guy even ensuring a truly vertical plumb line.

Didi I just read 'bullet proof'?

And who says Nigerians are not creative?

Hmmm

Waoo


All we need is a responsible Govt to complement the effort of Nigerians.

We are a great nation

Creative

Very creative


God bless Nigerians..

Very nice but some questions come to mind:

1) Can it stand the test of time? I.e weather?
2) How solid is the foundation?
3)Is the plastic bottle beneficial to the structure of the building or simply for design?
4) Is the mud heated or just plain mould?
5) Am I an architect or government abi which one be my own sef?
6)Una never tire to read? Oya click on like for nothing

Nice one

Read this on CNN 2 or 3 weeks ago, this is indeed very creative.
There is just untapped talent sitting around Nigeria

They start doing this in Lekki. Package the buildings in terrace, detached and selling it in dollars

Hmmm. Hope d house ll be strong? Though it looks beautiful. Nice idea.

And it's relatively cheap considering that most part of the empty plastic bottles are gotten from public waste dump sites

Impressive

Nice creativity...
