This is a natural eco-building method using locally available recycled materials: glass bottles as brick alternatives, plaster made from shredded recycled paper, clay sand, straw and cow manure; recycled car tyres incorporated into the base of the bamboo frame structure and a thatched roof. The buildings are cheap to construct and have a flexible structure which will sway but is less likely to break than brittle concrete during one of the earthquakes to which Nepal is prone
