A home built using more than 600,000 recycled plastic bottles is on the market in Nova Scotia.

Business partners Joel German and David Saulnier, of JD Composites, unveiled their project in Meteghan River earlier this week, and the home is believed to be the first of its kind.

Saulnier said his crew started to design the home in May 2018 and took about three weeks to laminate the 172 panels the house is constructed from. At the end of September, the team erected the walls of the home in a single day and spent the winter finishing the interior. The designer explained the plastic panelling was tested to stand up to extreme weather and also to withstand “326 mile per hour winds… twice a Category 5 hurricane.”
