Ecobrick Settee and coffee table at Four Acres Academy in Bristol.
Encon construction Ltd have built a new Waste and Recycling centre in Bristol. As part of the community benefits that run alongside the build they have been working with Four Acres Academy in Bristol.
They have run lots of educational workshops for the children and one of those was to create an ecobrick project.
358 ecobricks all logged and authenticated on gobrik.com with a combined weight of 180.09 kgs put to use in the school. It is in the area of the school that the foodbank works from, combining messaging to the children of good healthy food and taking care of the plastic that they have no control of coming into their hands.
The equivalent amount of AES sequestered plastic was purchased, and a certificate produced via the plastic offsetting system on gobrik.com
