Plastic Waste Reutilisation

Thermal insulation is very important in high altitude areas where the cold climate increases heating requirements. Improved insulation of houses results in better comfort and a reduction in firewood consumption. Importing insulation material in remote mountain areas is expensive, whereas plastic waste pet bottles, packaging material and shopping bags is in abundance. Such plastic waste materials can be reutilised to thermally insulate houses by placing it under the roof, under the foundation and inside cavity walls.
