In the sixties, Heineken created the beer bottle that could be used as a building brick. With similar inspiration, Buddhist monks have created the Wat Pa Maha Chedi Kaew temple in the Sisaket province of Thailand from one million recycled beer bottles:  Heineken bottles and Chang Beer bottles. 

In 1963, the Heineken World Bottle, the“brick that holds beer”, was created after Mr. Heineken visited the Caribbean.  He saw two problems: beaches littered with bottles and a lack of affordable building materials.  The solution:  beer bottle bricks!
