Some Nigerians are building earthquake-proof homes from plastic bottles, turning trash into a sustainable and affordable housing material. The homes are made by filling plastic bottles with sand and stacking them like bricks, bound by mud and string. The homes are 20 times stronger than regular bricks, bulletproof, and insulated from the heat.

I saw a video with 3D printed prefabs with the bulk of the extruded material being recycled plastic bottles.
It's so interesting. I just love the possibilities 3D printed provides for adaptable engineering and beautiful design. That's one of the places investment should have gone. The opportunities for really breakthrough, flexible, and sustainable design are in 3D printing.
