The Horse 2023

My vision and imaginations for bottle bricks:

My thoughts about the project:

• I'm curious about how much plastic waste I produce.
• I'm curious about how long it takes to fill up a bottle.
• Does Switzerland use bottle bricks?
• Is it useful?
• How can we produce less plastic waste?
• Are there alternatives?
• What can we do with bigger plastic pieces / hard plastic?

Ideas:

• Choose other packaging
• Bring food from home
• Eat out
• Use reusable bottle
• Tote bag
• use scissors to make smaller pieces that fit in the bottle

Do you want to produce less plastic waste? We‘ve got you covered. Welcome to our exciting project about Ecobricks. We‘re collecting our everyday plastic waste and put it all into a plastic bottle. Like this we can measure our waste and try to reduce it. Ecobricks can be used to build houses for people in 3rd world countries.🥤 

Our Team (Switzerland): Alicia, Leonie, Luana

Status: Still in progress

Unfortunately, no partners from India are interested in our project. Therefore, no communication tools were used and no meeting has been held.

We carry on with our project ourselves and are curious about our results.

We are currently collecting our plastic waste to fill up a water bottle.

Concept: 

- Team: Alicia, Leonie, Luana

- Research question: How much plastic waste do we produce (until bottle is filled)?

We have to look up where and how we can donate these bottles to factories/if they need it.

Is it even possible to give them away in Switzerland?

- Our answer (Project description, methods/techniques):

 We start putting our plastic waste in a plastic botte to see how long it takes to fill it up and how much waste we produce, take a picture every day of bottle and plastic piece that goes in the bottle.

We estimate the duration of the filling process up to 2 weeks.

Rules: cut up big plastic pieces so that it fits, use evian 75cl bottle

-->if the small botte fills up too fast we try to redo the project with a bigger bottle

- Material & difficulties:

1 Evian 75cl bottle, plastic waste we produce ourselves

Difficulties may be the bigger plastic pieces that don't fit or hard plastic that can hardly be cut smaller. 

-goal/result: Find out how long/how much plastic it takes to fill up such a bottle, measure how much waste there is in a period of time.

Experts comment: not available yet

Goal/Result: find out how long and how much plastic it takes to fill up such a bottle, measure how much waste there is in a short period of time
