Ecobricks are a simple, low-tech solution to our plastic. Without the need for machines, special skills or capital ecobricks enable us to take personal responsibility for the plastic that we’ve consumed by keeping it out of industrial systems, securing it out of the environment, and putting it to good use in modules and earth constructions.

An ecobrick is a PET bottle packed solid with clean and dry used plastic.  Ecobricks are made to a set density to create reusable building blocks.  Ecobricks terminally reduce the net surface area of packed plastic to effectively secure it from degrading into toxins and microplastics. Ecobricks can make modular units, furniture, and earthen gardens and structures.  The Global Ecobrick Alliance promotes ecobricking as a collaboration powered technology, grounded in regenerative principles.

Ecobricking is a both an individual and collaborative endeavour.  It unites people across class, age, economy and continents around the shared intention of caring for the local and global biosphere. The personal ecobricking process raise awareness of the consequences of consumption and the dangers of plastic. The collaborative process gives individual and communities an hands on experience of regenerative living and points in the direction of even deeper regenerative technologies, such as earth building and permaculture.
