The idea is a good one to try to create something like "ecolumber" plastic lumber. Unfortunately here there are too many problems with trying to set up a company such as that.
1) there is not enough HDPE (milk bottles )on the island or country to make enough lumber
2)it takes 22 Clean / clear gallon bottles to make 1 foot of lumber
3) the fuel costs to operate an extruder would be too high.
4)
5)
it is a good idea but not feasible here to make plastic lumber out of waist. Even in the US most of this type of company have gone by the wayside.
you could collect all the water bottles and return them to Bowen and Bowen they will take back their bottles to recycle them.
