‘Ecoladrillos’, el proyecto de estudiantes en Turbaco para la sostenibilidad Students at Institución Educativa Bonanza in Turbaco have developed a project called ‘Ecoladrillos’ to create bricks from plastic bottles, which are then used to build school furniture. This initiative began as a classroom project and has evolved into a sustainability effort with the goal of constructing a park entirely from recycled materials. The process involves compacting cleaned plastic bottles without caps or labels, which are then combined with ‘nanocement’ to create durable furniture like benches.

• Students at Institución Educativa Bonanza are making bricks from plastic bottles called ‘Ecoladrillos’.
• The project aims to create furniture for the school and potentially a park made from recycled materials.
• The process involves using 48-52 cleaned plastic bottles per eco-brick, compacted and molded.
• A bench was constructed using these eco-bricks and ‘nanocement’, a more resistant material.
• The project aims to be a model for other schools and seeks public and private support. https://nicaragua-hub.syndichain.com/articles/65ae80f2-01b8-4b25-a686-45cb01fef248 https://www.eluniversal.com.co/regional/bolivar/2025/12/06/ecoladrillos-el-proyecto-de-estudiantes-en-turbaco-para-la-sostenibilidad/
