Abstract

This study analyzes the Yopipila project in Cabo Delgado, Mozambique, which uses recycled plastic bottles as the primary material for building houses, offering a sustainable and innovative alternative to traditional construction methods. Cabo Delgado, one of the poorest provinces in the country, faces challenges such as a shortage of conventional materials and adverse environmental impacts. The use of plastic bottles in the project contributes to the circular economy, reduces plastic waste, and provides a viable and cost-effective solution for construction. The research evaluates the effectiveness of this construction model, addressing aspects of environmental sustainability, economic efficiency, and implementation challenges. Furthermore, it explores the potential replication of this method in other regions with similar conditions.
