A suitable approach for this situation is using some part of urban rubbish as required materials for building construction and also providing comfortable situation and suitable thermal for building residents. Plastic bottle is considered as an urban junk with sustainability characteristic which can be used as a material instead of some conventional material such as brick in building construction. This paper intends to investigate the application of plastic bottles as one of the urban wastage in Buildings construction and that how it can lead to sustainable development.
It also mentions some ways for self-standing and insulating them in thermal and sound points of views and some positive points which this material have versus others.
