        abstract = {The Eco-Brick Project aims to address two major global concerns: plastic waste management and sustainable construction. Plastic pollution continues to threaten the environment, while traditional construction materials contribute significantly to resource depletion and environmental degradation. The eco-brick concept utilizes non-recyclable plastic waste by converting it into durable, cost-effective building materials. This project explores the process of producing eco- bricks, including the collection of plastic waste, its conversion into eco-bricks, and the use of these bricks in construction applications. By repurposing plastic bottles and other plastic waste into compact, strong bricks, the project not only reduces landfill waste but also creates an affordable alternative to traditional construction materials like cement and clay. This solution not only promotes environmental sustainability but also offers a means to reduce construction costs and contribute to the circular economy. The success of the Eco-Brick Project demonstrates the feasibility of upcycling plastic waste into a valuable resource for building, with significant potential for use in low-cost housing, community structures, and landscaping projects. The project further encourages community involvement in waste collection and recycling initiatives, fostering awareness of environmental issues and promoting sustainable living practices.},
