EcoBrick Creation

Students at Union High School are invited to participate in creating EcoBricks by filling 2-litre plastic bottles with non-biodegradable waste such as plastic bags, polystyrene trays, and chip packets. The goal is to compact the waste tightly so the bottle becomes solid and reusable as a building material, helping reduce litter and promote environmental responsibility.

Who it is for
students at Union High School
How to act on it
Collect used 2-litre plastic bottles and fill them with clean, dry non-biodegradable waste, stuffing the material tightly until the bottle is rock-solid.
Show the line this came from
Each classroom at Union High School has again been tasked with creating an EcoBrick this year. The learners are encouraged to participate, and in so doing, take personal responsibility for their plastic waste.
