To protect the marine ecosystem, protect the living environment of people, with the mission of reducing the amount of plastic waste, the idea of making ecological bricks - Ecobricks was born. Ecobrick is a compound word, including eco (ecological) and brick (brick). These bricks are made from plastic bottles filled and tightly packed with plastic waste, mostly plastic bags, candy wrappers, packaging, foam boxes, flexible plastic products... By doing this, you not only process the amount of plastic waste but also contribute bricks to build a public work or charity house for your hometown. Each ecological brick - Ecobricks will be linked together with an adhesive mixture used in the construction industry. Therefore, in addition to building houses, Ecobricks can also be used to build desks, chairs, fences... This is a simple solution to handle daily plastic waste, no need for machines or special skills, everyone can make their own ecological bricks - Ecobricks according to the instructions. 
Launching a movement to make ecological bricks in schools.
There have been many Ecobrick projects around the world, they help connect people together regardless of age, gender or ethnicity, they are people who share the same goal of protecting the environment. Vietnam.vn would like to introduce to you the Eco-Brick movement through the photo series "Eco-Brick" by author Vu Son Lam about the process of making eco-brick, which also helps people better understand the consequences of using plastic as well as raise awareness of reducing the amount of plastic waste in the family and community. The photo series was sent by the author to participate in the Photo and Video Contest "Happy Vietnam - Happy Vietnam", organized by the Ministry of Information and Communications.
Together.
Making a brick is quite simple, just open the bottle cap and stuff the plastic waste materials inside, for hard and large materials, you should cut them into small pieces, stuff them in layers, then use a chopstick or long stick to stuff and press the materials tightly into the bottle. The bottom of the bottle should be stuffed with soft plastic or easily crumpled materials, the walls of the bottle need to be tightly packed, the middle of the bottle will automatically tighten and harden. After the bottle has been tightly packed and hardened, close the cap tightly and you have a complete brick. After finishing, the children will neatly arrange and classify each bottle model to proceed with the construction of works such as flower beds, tables, chairs, bookshelves, etc.
Complete the eco-brick.
Transport.
Check the quality of the brick.
Each eco-brick is made from candy wrappers, styrofoam boxes, and plastic cups. Instead of being thrown into the trash like before, it is now cleaned, dried, chopped, and stuffed tightly into plastic bottles. This method not only treats nylon trash in the schoolyard but also creates bricks for construction.
