Concept of our project - Bottlebricks

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.
