Rotterdam’s Temple of Trash Built From PET Bottles





In 2007 at the folly festival FollyDock in Rotterdam, the creative designers from SALZIG Design Team have come up with this intriguing Temple of Trash. Located in an old district of Rotterdam, this 7m high, 25m long and 10m wide trash pile consists of 100 tones of PET bottles compacted into rough cubes. The structure, which was meant to inspire recycling to both the casual visitor and the green minded, has now become an attraction serving its purpose with ease. It would be interesting to know how the Temple of Trash will look 1,000 years from now when future generations will dig it up.
