I also read this topic yesterday. What are your thoughts on using plastic bottles as roofing materials for housing in disaster zones? Do you think it’s a good idea or do you have any concerns? I want to know opinions of others.

In disaster-prone regions around the world, an innovative solution is emerging as a beacon of hope: plastic bottles are being transformed into roofing materials. This ingenious approach not only addresses the pressing need for affordable shelter in the aftermath of catastrophes but also contributes to mitigating the environmental impact of plastic waste. This eco-friendly endeavor underscores the growing importance of extended producer responsibility, compelling manufacturers to take ownership of the entire lifecycle of their products, from production to disposal. By repurposing plastic bottles into sturdy roofing materials, we witness an inspiring synergy between disaster relief, sustainability, and corporate accountability, offering a glimmer of resilience in the face of adversity.

It looks like it will stop about 90 % of the water if it is applied on a 5/12 pr 6/16 pitched roof. A good wind might do a lot of harm too.
