Eco-Brick to save the environment and growing economics

The love and concern of husband and wife Russell Maier (Canada) and Ani Himawati (Indonesia) for the environment encourages them to tackle plastic waste. What he does is very simple, effective, and artistic, namely by using the ecobrick method.

Ecobricks are a way to minimize waste by using plastic bottles filled with inorganic waste (waste that cannot be broken down or takes a long time to decompose) until it is really hard and solid.

The goal of ecobrick is to reduce plastic-based waste, and recycle it with plastic bottles to be used as something useful, such as tables, chairs, walls, and other artistic items - which even have a sale value. This method has been shown to reduce the amount of plastic waste in Canada, the country where the originator of the ecobrick, Russell Maier, was born.

If you are a generation that claims to care about the environment, it's good to try the Ecobricks method. This method is seen as an effort to deal with plastic waste so that it can be used in other forms. Maybe Ecobrick is not very familiar, but this method makes the environment transform better and also you could make money from it.

In Jogjakarta, the ecobricks method was introduced in March by collaborating with 405 waste banks in the region. To date, there are nearly 6,000 ecobricks that can be made. A 600 milliliter bottle of mineral water requires at least 2,500 sheets of plastic instant noodle wrap or the equivalent of 250 grams of plastic waste.

In addition to reducing the quantity of plastic waste thrown into landfills, the ecobricks method is also able to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide released into the environment.
