Eco-Life, for a better world, “Make your ideas work”

Abstract

“Eco-Life, for a better life” is a project that consists of the elaboration of plastic wood out of trash or plastic garbage, bags post-utilization such as: bottles of different bottled drinks, packaging, among other plastic materials. Out of this raw material, mixed with other fibers (coconut shell, sugar cane fiber, among others) undergoes a process that has as final product the plastic wood many products are made with, such as; desks for schools, mainly for rural areas, furniture of different kind and style, sheets for house building, ceramic, poles for fencing or enclosing of lots, in short, a great variety of products that could substitute wood.

The project is born after observing the huge trouble both in our country and also worldwide, of the striking quantity of plastic garbage along streets, polluting our environment and showing an unpleasant aspect of cities and towns. Just there is the problem which needs a viable solution and also such material needs to be used.

“Eco-life, for a better world”, in its initial stage, has experienced the trial-error phase; however, trials are still being made to improve the product and diversify it even more, because currently, actual size products have being produced, and their resistance, quality, durability, versatility and innovation is notorious. 

The next stage of the project is the searching of financing to initiate and undertake the business itself that will devote to the making and commercialization of both, plastic wood for different uses and also the commercialization of different products already finished.

Moreover, it is hoped to make alliances to obtain the necessary raw material so that to be able to generate job indirectly. Also, recipients will be set in strategic places such as grocery stores and supermarkets for people to throw plastic garbage in to be collected later, contributing to a more agreeable environment, free of so much pollution.
