BBC: Rubbish bin inspires Taiwan's plastic bottle building

A building made from recycled plastic PET bottles has been built in the Taiwanese capital, Taipei.

The country is famous for having a large number of convenience stores, but the population's love of fast-food has resulted in residents consuming a vast amount of bottled beverages - up to 4.6 billion a year.

The inspiration for the building came from the amount of them found in rubbish bins, according to developer Arthur Huang, of the Miniwiz Sustainable Energy Development Company.
