    This study aims to test the properties of PET bottle ecobricks as a potential alternative construction material. Specifically, it will examine the compression force, sound insulation capacity, and labor considerations of ecobricks made from 500ml, 1000ml, and 1500ml PET bottles. The researchers will conduct quantitative tests on ecobrick samples and compare the results to conventional construction materials. If shown to be a viable option, ecobricks could provide a sustainable way to reuse plastic waste and reduce its environmental impact.

    A Study on the Properties

    of Polyethylene
    Terephthalate (PET)
    Bottle Ecobricks as a
    Possible Alternative for
    Construction Materials

    Review of Related Literature
     Ecobrick is a sustainable way to reuse non-biodegradable plastic waste as the
    plastic waste is regarded as a long- lasting and durable material. It is also
    believed that Ecobricks prevent plastic waste from disrupting the ecosystem
    (Low, 2018).

     Ecobricks allows recycling of waste plastic. If made with hollow cells, they
    can be filled with compacted dirt, increasing their potential utility for
    projects lasting several years (Sobti, 2018).

     According to Cleanaway Waste Management Limited (n.d.), Ecobricks are


    being used to provide temporary housing for earthquake victims in Mexico.
    The Ecobricks concept is an excellent opportunity for students to put
    sustainability into practice in their everyday live.

     Ecobricks are indeed a viable solution to be pursued immediately (Maier,


    2013).
    RESEARCH DEFINITION
     Researchers will test PET bottle Ecobricks in terms of compression force,
    sound insulation and labor consideration.
     This research sought to answer the following research questions:
    1. What is the compression force of Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET)
    bottle ecobricks in different weights?

    2. What is the sound insulation capacity of Polyethylene Terephthalate


    (PET) bottle Ecobricks?

    3. What are the possible labor considerations of using Polyethylene


    Terephthalate (PET) bottle Ecobricks in comparison with the conventional
    materials that are currently being used for construction purposes?
    Research Design
    The study will be in descriptive quasi- experimental
    research design.

    Data Collection Instrument


    The researchers will generate quantitative type of
    data.
    Quantitative observation is an objective collection of
    data which is primarily focused on numbers and
    values (Bhat, 2019).
    Sample

    Purposive sampling will be mainly applied for this
    study.

    Data Collection Procedure


     Produce Ecobricks using 500mL, 1000mL and 1500mL
    bottle.
     Find different compression forces and sound insulation
    capacity of different weights of Ecobrick.
    Planned Data Analysis
     Compression Force is the application of power, pressure or
    exertion against an object (Sensorprod.com, 2019). This will be
    calculated by dividing the force or load at point of failure by the
    initial cross- sectional surface area.
     Sound Insulation is the ability of building elements or structures
    to reduce sound transmission and is measured over a range of
    frequencies (Gracey, 2019). The estimation of the sound
    reduction index of a solid construction is measured through Mass
    Law and to also know the mass per unit area of a brick.
     For the last research problem, the researchers will conduct the
    same test in a hollow block and compare the results to Ecobrick.
    Research Ethics
     Ensure the honest report of data and result of the study.
     Methods and procedures are well executed.
     Respect the privacy of the participants and recognition
    of a person as autonomous, unique and free individual.
     Recognize each person’s right and capacity to make
    his/her own decisions.
     The study aims no harm and to do well to the people
    involed.
