How to make an Ecobrick

An Ecobrick is an environmentally-friendly building block created by densely packing a plastic bottle with clean and dry non-recyclable plastic.

Making your own Ecobrick is a great way to use up the single-use and non-recyclable plastic, from food packaging such as crisp packets, plastic bags, cling film and polystyrene.

Ecobricks offer a simple solution to help keep the plastic from the industrial recycling system, landfill, or our seas and oceans - small change, big impact!
