Even though plastic bottles are fully recyclable, they mostly end up in landfills. To solve this problem, Donald Thomson launched ‘A'Gua Costa Rica, a new 100 per cent zero-waste beverage container that becomes a permanent, high-quality solution to the housing needs of low-income families.
Thomson’s company, Center for Regenerative Design and Collaboration, makes the rectangular 'A'Gua bottles that, when empty, flatten into concrete-and-waste-paper-filled tiles. The resulting tile has a much greater value than the empty bottle.
