According to the Center for Health, Environment and Justice (CHEJ), about 7 billion pounds a year of PVC in the US becomes municipal solid waste, medical waste, or construction demolition debris. In the current prospective of a worsening global environmental crisis, to achieve true sustainability in the design of the birdhouse, long-term performance and efficient resource management is critical. PVC pipes have proven to make smaller environmental footprint than competing old-technology Materials. Its manufacturing process requires less energy and overall creates virtually no waste. 

The durability and corrosion resistance of PVC pipes facilitates its sustainability as the chosen material for a birdhouse. The design keverages on the opportunity fo upcycle waste, reusing discarded material and re-purposing it to extend its service life.

Buildable by the layman with simple tools and PVC pipe fittings easily found in regular hardware stores, this Birdhouse design democratises the classic birdhouse further while providing a safe haven for birds to roost and rest. Available as both a standing tree or a hanging type, the design offers infinite possibilites for configurations to suit different needs.
