Abstract
Plastics are widely used in various needs of human life, starting from food wrapping material to the needs of automotive materials. Plastic is the most popular material and most widely used as a material for automotive component making, in addition to metal in the form of iron. The most important problem of plastics is the plastic waste that can not decompose naturally. It takes a very long time to clean up plastic waste from the face of the earth, especially since the use of plastic is almost unmanageable. Plastics also make the air temperature hotter day by day, due to its non-porous polymeric properties. At the moment, most products are produced without thinking of where they are going when consumed. Many products are also designed to fail within a certain period known as "planned obsolescence". This design philosophy is the cause behind overflowing landfills, plastic islands in the sea, and becoming a scourge such as packaging and products that clog the local ecosystem. Ecobrick is one of the creative efforts to manage plastic waste into useful objects, reducing pollution and toxins caused by plastic waste. Ecobrick is one of the creative endeavors for handling plastic waste. Its function is not to destroy plastic waste, but to extend the life of these plastics and process them into something useful, which can be used for the benefit of humans in general. Making ecobrick is still not so popular among the wider community. Most people still treat used plastics as household plastic waste, pollute the environment, rivers and pollute everyday life without self-awareness.Keywords: plastic waste, contamination, ecobrick, creative effort

Summary
Plastik merupakan bahan recycle atau bahan yang bisa didaur ulang, maka dari itulah banyak cara pengolahan-pengolahan plastik. Selain itu plastik juga merupakan bahan kimia yang sulit terdegradasi atau terurai oleh alam, membutuhkan waktu beratus-ratus. Plastik merupakan sebuah bahan yang paling populer dan paling banyak digunakan sebagai bahan pembuat komponen otomotif selain bahan logam berupa besi. Plastik juga menjadikan suhu udara menjadi lebih panas dari ke hari, karena sifat polimernya yang tidak berpori. Bagi banyak perusahaan membuat sistem pengolahan limbah plastik memerlukan investasi besar-besaran dan restrukturisasi lengkap yang meliputi manufaktur, sumber bahan, dan menerapkan sistem baru untuk menyerap produk mereka. Kuat, tahan bahan kimia dan panas, serta mempunyai sifat elektrikal baik yang Jika. PET memiliki sifat tidak tahan panas, keras, tembus cahaya (transparan), memiliki titik leleh 85oC. Material PET ini merupakan plastik utama untuk pembuatan kantong kemasan makanan. Material ini memiliki sifat yang tahan terhadap bahan kimia atau Chemical Resistance, transparan dan memiliki titik leleh 165°C. Material PP ini diaplikasikan untuk pembuatan hiasan mobil, cashing accumulator, botol, tabung, dan tas (Gambar 2)
