this sounds interesting. Back in 2002 the Tamar bridge linking Devon & Cornwall used recycled plastic milk bottles for kerbstones on the bridge widening scheme.

Quote:
Milk bottles and other household plastic bottles are usually used to make recycling boxes, compost bins and other similar items.
Recently, kerb units were required for the Tamar Bridge widening scheme. A lightweight material was required and so recycled plastic milk bottles were used to create the pedestrian walkways.
Quoted from a cached page of what was Penwith.gov.uk, Cornwall - wikipedia, is now one of the new unitary county councils, centralised so local.gov.uk sites now redirect to Cornwall.gov.uk

If you have any information, links on how recycled materials have been used locally please post and addd on ..
