Work on the first affordable plastic-free homes in Europe and the UK will soon be completed in a move to encourage developers to rely more on sustainable materials.
The ground-breaking project, built by housing association GreenSquareAccord, has seen plastic-free alternatives used to reduce the environmental impact of the homes.
Based on the site of a former factory carpark in the West Midlands, the one-bedroom apartments have been constructed with timber panels and aluminium window frames.
