Glass as well as plastic bottles are used every single day and simply thrown away to either be recycled or just left in the trash. The Wat Pa Maha Chedio Kaew temple which is located in Thaisland’s Sisaket province was built using over 1 million recycled bottles. Everything from the crematorium to the bathrooms are all made with either glass or plastic bottles. They also use the bottle caps to create decorative mosaic murals so nothing is wasted.

This type of use for bottles first started in 1984 when monks used to use bottles to simply decorate their shelters. Over time this style of design attracted more and more people and they would all donate bottles to be used. Over time enough bottles where collected to start building the amazing temple you see above. You can take a look at more of the pictures below and tell us what you think.
