Eco-Bricks: A Sustainable Solution for Plastic Waste Management of National Service Scheme Initiatives”

Author(s) Mr. Avinash Jagannath Patil
Country India
Abstract This article explores the transformative potential of eco-bricks as a sustainable solution for plastic waste management, focusing on a National Service Scheme (NSS) initiative at a school that has already demonstrated the feasibility of this approach. The school has constructed several benches using eco-bricks, each requiring approximately 300 plastic bottles filled with roughly 350 to 400 grams of plastic waste collected in each bottle by students. Building upon this existing foundation, this article investigates the potential for scaling up eco-brick production and utilization through enhanced community awareness and student engagement. It examines the process of eco-brick creation, from waste collection and sorting to bottle filling and bench construction, highlighting the role of NSS volunteers in each stage. The article analyzes the environmental benefits of this initiative, quantifying the amount of plastic waste diverted from landfills and its potential impact on reducing the demand for conventional building materials. Furthermore, it explores the social impact of the project, including increased environmental awareness among students and the broader community, as well as the creation of functional and aesthetically pleasing public amenities. The article concludes by discussing the challenges and opportunities associated with scaling up eco-brick initiatives and offers recommendations for promoting wider adoption of this sustainable waste management strategy.
