    The document discusses eco-bricks, which are reusable building blocks created by tightly packing plastic waste into plastic bottles to a set density. Eco-bricks provide a sustainable way to reuse non-biodegradable plastic waste by preventing it from contaminating the environment. They can be used to make furniture, walls, buildings, and pavements. Several barangays in Pagudpud have adapted eco-brick making as a project to effectively manage plastic waste in their areas and generate income.

    NARRATIVE REPORT
    ECO-BRICKS MAKING

    There are 25 trillion pieces of plastic debris in the ocean and every day, each person
    in Philippines throws away 13 plastic bags.  These plastics are fueling the world’s
    incinerators and contribute to the release of dioxins and other toxins.
    We are all aware of the dire state of plastic pollution happening in our oceans and how plastic
    is now the number one enemy of everyone.

    An Ecobrick is essentially a reusable building block created by solid non-


    biodegradable waste placed into a plastic bottle to a set density. By packing the bottles with a
    set density, it makes them suitable building blocks for virtually any construction. They can
    also be packed with other non-biological un-recyclables that, uncontained, are toxic to the
    environment.

    Eco bricks are a sustainable way to reuse non-biodegradable plastic waste as plastic
    waste is regarded as a long-lasting and durable material. Hence, keeping plastic out of the
    ecosystem and prevents the contamination of the environment.

    Eco bricks are used to make many things such as furniture, walls, and buildings. It
    allows communities and companies to get control of their plastic waste to create modular
    furniture, garden spaces, walls, and even full-scale buildings.
     
    These can also be the shredded plastics mixed with a cement and formed into bricks
    that can be a pavement in a garden area or pathway. This aims to reduce the use of plastics in
    the environment that would cause pollution, spread of excessive wastes and environmental
    distractions. In line with this, different barangays of Pagudpud adapted this project to
    effectively manage the use of plastics in their area. This helps the whole barangay dispose
    their wastes properly by giving them time to recycle and shred it for an eco-friendly
    pavement. And this became an income generating project of some barangays in Pagudpud.
