A New Zealand based company have come up with a new way of recycling glass bottles. They describe it best themselves: "When you drink beers you have ideas. So when we heard that two thirds of the world’s beaches were retreating, we cracked a couple of DB Exports and thought of a plan. To help save New Zealand’s beaches we’re turning empty bottles of DB Export into a sand substitute. That’s right, the answer to the global sand shortage could be drinking beer! DB Export Beer Bottle Sand will be given to construction companies and anyone else who needs it, reducing the dependence on beach-derived sand."
