The Eco hub facility, a joint project of the Ayala-led renewable energy corporation, Green Antz Builders, the provincial government of Ilocos Norte, and other LGUs, can convert discarded plastic materials into Ecobricks said to be more durable than the regular hollow blocks used in construction works.
