Recycling PET bottles
Mexico

Andreas Froese is the inventor of the technique ECOTEC: the recycling of PET bottles, along with debris and earth, to become raw material for construction.  PET bottles are used as bricks: they are filled with dirt and other materials and are linked to form a structure. This system is applied in different environments and areas, such as: ecotourism, recreational uses, common areas, new housing construction or rehabilitation and water reservoirs and has been used on projects in Honduras, Bolivia, Colombia, Mexico, Uganda and Germany.
