  • An ecobrick is a plastic bottle packed with used plastic to a set density. They serve as reusable building blocks. Ecobricks can be used to produce various items, including furniture, garden walls and other structures. Ecobricks are produced primarily as a means of managing consumed plastic by sequestering it and containing it safely, by terminally reducing the net surface area of the packed plastic to effectively secure the plastic from degrading into toxins and microplastics. Ecobricking is a both an individual and collaborative endeavour. The ecobricking movement promotes the personal ecobricking process as a means to raise awareness of the consequences of consumption and the dangers of plastic. It also promotes the collaborative process as a means to encourage communities to take collective responsibility for their used plastic and to use it to produce a useful product. Typically, producers use a wood or bamboo stick to manually pack plastic into the plastic bottle. Any size of transparent polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic bottle can be used to make an ecobrick. The bottle and the packed plastic are clean and dry to prevent the growth of bacteria. Plastic is cut or ripped into small pieces then packed little by little, alternating between adding the plastic and compacting it, layer by layer. The bottle is rotated with each press to ensure the plastic is evenly compacted throughout the bottle. This helps prevent voids and allows the packing to reach the requisite solidity needed for building block applications. Completed ecobricks are packed solid enough that they can bear the weight of a person without deforming—a density range between 0.33 g/ml and 0.7 g/ml. Maximizing density minimizes the flammability of the ecobrick while increasing its durability and re-usability. (en)
  • Un ecoladrillo es una botella plástica llena con productos que por cuestiones técnicas o económicas no son reciclables, como plásticos de un solo uso, telgopor, látex o incluso colillas de cigarrillo, de manera compacta.​ Cada ecoladrillo sirve como un bloque de construcción que pueden ser utilizado para producir estructuras. De esa manera sirve para capturar y reducir la contaminación que de otra forma producirían los materiales compactados en su interior.​ (es)
  • Ekoadreilua plastikozko botila bat da, plastikozko poltsa edo paper trinkotuez betea. Bloke berrerabilgarri gisa balio dute.
