Crafting your EcoBrick: A guide to sustainable packing

Welcome to EcoGo's guide on making high-quality EcoBricks! Join us in Fife, United Kingdom, as we transform plastic waste into valuable building blocks. Learn the art of sustainable packing to ensure your EcoBricks are ready for amazing projects, from sheds to furniture.

The core of a great EcoBrick

At EcoGo, we believe in quality from the ground up. To make a good EcoBrick that meets our standards, you need to ensure it's tightly packed with clean plastics, achieving a minimum density of 0.3g/l. This density is crucial for the structural integrity and longevity of your EcoBrick.

Avoid these common pitfalls

Many first-time EcoBrick makers encounter common challenges. Beware of using dirty or wet plastics, as this can lead to mould and compromise the integrity of your EcoBrick. Not packing tightly enough is another common mistake, resulting in a low-density brick that won't pass our validation. Also, steer clear of using flip-top or oddly shaped bottles; standard, sturdy bottles work best for effective packing.

Why your EcoBrick matters

Making your EcoBricks the right way is more than just following instructions; it's about embracing an eco-friendly lifestyle. Properly made EcoBricks unlock a world of possibilities for incredible projects. Imagine building sheds, planters for your garden, or even unique furniture pieces – all from repurposed plastic! Each validated EcoBrick, starting with serial number EB1, contributes to a cleaner environment and inspires creative sustainable solutions.
