Eco brick as animal shelter

This paper explores the innovative use of eco-bricks in constructing a cat shelter, merging sustainability with animal welfare. Conventional construction materials often impose significant environmental burdens due to resource extraction and waste generation. Eco bricks, crafted from compacted non-recyclable plastic waste, offer a promising solution by reducing plastic pollution while providing durable building components. By incorporating eco-bricks into various structural elements like walls, flooring, and furniture, the shelter not only addresses environmental concerns but also enhances functionality and resilience. Furthermore, the adoption of eco-bricks encourages community involvement through plastic waste collection initiatives, fostering environmental consciousness among volunteers and supporters. This abstract introduces a pioneering approach to sustainable shelter construction, benefiting both animals and the environment. Through the utilisation of eco-bricks, cat shelters can mitigate their ecological footprint while offering essential care and refuge to homeless felines.
