Bottletop, a UK-based retail store, is demonstrating its commitment to zero waste by announcing that its new flagship store in London will feature a 3D printed store interior and made from 60, 000 recycled plastic bottles.
Although details are still scarce, the brand released a rendering of the store's layout, which depicts a futuristic interior, that's complete with integrated wall hooks, unconventional product displays and a unique roof.
