thanks Marcia, this reminds me of the beer bottle temple I posted here about a year ago that got quite a reaction and to me this kind of thing is interesting because it reveals the potential for deliberate design of packaging with a planned re use strategy.

We’ve seen plenty of innovative bus shelters before, but Project Bottlestop might just be the most beautiful. Designed by UK College of Design student Aaron Scales, the shelter uses recycled glass Ale-8-One soft drink bottles illuminated by LED lights to create a unique piece of street art. The whole thing is enclosed in safety glass and is completely self-sustaining, with solar panels providing energy for the shelter’s lighting
