The Morrow Royal Pavilion in Las Vegas is the world's largest structure made from recycled beer bottles. Over half a million beer bottles were crushed and turned into a composite material called GreenStone that was used to construct the 30,000 square foot manufacturing facility. GreenStone is created by crushing beer bottles into grains, mixing them with fly ash, and letting the material dry into molds. The building project saved the equivalent of eight football fields worth of landfill space.

The Great Las Vegas Beer Bottle Palace By Adam Siskind
Las Vegas now boasts the world’s largest structure made from recycled beer bottles, according to an article in Inhabitat.com. Known as the Morrow Royal Pavilion, the building is the brainchild of Scott McCombs, a Las Vegas entrepreneur.
The 30,000-square-foot manufacturing facility took shape from more than half a million beer bottles that were crushed and reformulated into a composite known as GreenStone. The construction project saved the equivalent of eight football fields—piled to the top of the goal post—of landfill space. Nearly every element of the building contains some glass.
To create the GreenStone composite, a local design firm collects beer bottles from Las Vegas Strip hotels. Powerful machines then crush the glass into miniscule grains, which are then mixed with fly ash, a byproduct of coal power plants. The mixture then dries and hardens in a special mold. GreenStone may be employed to construct a wide variety of building elements, including columns, mantles, fireplaces, and balustrades.
