When Canadian entrepreneur Robert Bezeau realized there were many plastic bottles laying everywhere, he decided to recycle them in the best possible way.
He began creating the Plastic Bottle Village when he moved to Bocas del Toro, Panama in 2012. The goal is to reduce plastic waste and bring this discarded plastic back to life by using them in construction.
He also shared that these bottles can be used in other applications such as:
“1. Home insulation
2. Rapid temporary shelters after disasters
3. Buildings for animal’s on farms
4. Building swimming pools
5. Water catchment tanks
6. Septic tanks
7. Agriculture waterways (land drainage)
8. Commercial warehouse construction
9. Barns
10. Roads”
He wants to raise awareness about the terrible state of our planet and the importance of reducing plastic waste. “Say NO to single-use plastic bottles. If you say YES than drink it and build it,” their website reads.
