Fly Ash, Crushed Bottles Become a Building Facade in Las Vegas

Print Print this Article | Send to Colleague

Las Vegas revelers generate 500,000 empty beer bottles each weekend - a boon for Scott McCombs, founder of GreenStone.

GreenStone was used to build the facade of the Morrow Royal Pavilion in Las Vegas.
