Eco Factor: Sustainable shelter made from recycled plastic bottles.

Have you ever thought that what happens to the thousands of plastic water bottles that are used during a marathon event? They’re mostly trashed if green-minded artists like Ashley Phillips aren’t around. The artist has shown his skills in designing a sustainable shelter known as “Igloo” from the plastic waste collected after the London Marathon.

The Igloo bottle shelter was created to make use of plastic bottle waste that has started to blight the environment and also inspire others about circular metabolism. The shelter has been created from over 4,000 plastic bottles that are held together by only one piece of wire and 40,000 rubber bands that too are sourced from sustainable plantations. The shelter can easily be disassembled and can be mounted on a small trolley to ease its transportation.
