Arthur Huang, a Taiwan-based engineer, is turning waste plastic bottles into an exhibition hall and may build military barracks with the same material.
His team processed almost 1.8 million used polyethylene terephthalate, or PET, bottles into bricks for a boat-shaped exhibition hall named EcoArk which will be used at Taipei’s flower show this year. The building, commissioned by the Far Eastern Group, costs one-third of conventional structures made of glass, metal panels and concrete, said 31-year-old Huang.
