One of the main disadvantages in constructing world house is high cost of the building. High cost of primary requirements for constructing the houses in places on where people are under poverty line, is forming one of the most Significant problems of people. On the other hand, urbanization growth will increase rubbish especially non-renewable ones. 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. At the end, it concluded that in different factors such as time of execution, cost, load capacity, flexibility, reducing waste and energy efficiency, plastic bottles can be more effective compared to some conventional building materials such as brick, concrete and ceramic block.
