Abstract:
Plastic bottles are used to store different substances for consumption and for other uses. Bottles used to package water takes over 1,000 years to biodegrade and if incinerated, they produce toxic fumes. Recycling is only feasible in limited circumstances because only PET bottles can be recycled all other bottles are discarded and only 1 out of 5 bottles are sent to the recycle bin. So there is a need for environment friendly constructive use of waste plastic bottles. This report consist of use of plastic waste bottle in construction as a brick which is filled with compacted sand or mud and other material ,method and technique of use, its relative advantages over traditional bricks in this way plastic waste of bottle can be removed and reused safely for construction.

Bottle Bricks And The Esthetics Of Sustain Ability
Can the ‘crude’ and the ‘untamed’ look esthetic? Does sustainability have an esthetic dimension? Can the tacit knowledge and expressions of a community contribute in achieving sustainable as well as esthetic designs?
We use the example of bottle bricks in interior-architecture to answer these questions ‘Bottle bricks’ refer to sand filled plastic bottles that are used as units or modules for construction. Use of these abundantly available low cost materials, and the involvement of indigenous communities for construction may be quoted as a good example of sustainability. However, equally important are the esthetics
