Ecobrick Ganeshji adds another ‘R’ to go green festival mantra with recycle, re-use, reduce, revere

The Ganpati idol made of ecobricks
A Sion-based non-governmental organisation (NGO) called SWAN, which stands for Students, Women, Animals and Nature, is catching eyeballs with its ecobrick Ganpati idol, installed at a Dharavi mandal for Ganeshotsav.
An ecobrick is a plastic bottle packed with used plastic inside to a certain density, so that it becomes hard, like a brick. These can then be used like building bricks and for making furniture, like park benches, desks and tables and other useful material, even in big city infrastructure.
