  • Morrow Royal Pavilion recycled beer bottle building
    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.
