The Morrow Royal Pavilion in Las Vegas just claimed the title of the world’s largest building made from recycled bottles! Created by Las Vegas Entrepreneur Scott McCombs, the 30,000-square-foot manufacturing facility is made from more than 500,000 beer bottles that were crushed and formed into a composite material called GreenStone that was used to build the structure. The project diverted thousands of pounds of material from the junk yard, saving an estimated 400,000 cubic yards of landfill space – that’s equal to 8 football fields piled to the top of the goal post.

Pollution is everywhere – and if it is not adding to greenhouse gas emissions, then it is causing other kinds of environmental damage such as acid rain. However, a researcher at Missouri University of Science and Technology believes that pollution could be useful to us as a building material. Jeffery Volz, assistant professor of civil, architectural and environmental engineering at Missouri S&T, believes that fly ash – the fine particles that rise with fuel gases during combustion – could be used in concrete. If his hypothesis is correct, it could prevent millions of tons of the waste product from reaching landfills in addition to reducing global CO2 emissions.
