Tetra Pak's gift for Beijing

This is probably going to be the most well-known wood-plastic composite structure in China: an artistically-designed 100-meter-long outdoor bench in the Olympics Metro Park in Beijing. Click here to view photos.

Tetra Pak, the patron, will gain name recognition by masses of visitors to the park, whose numbers are projected to be between 140,000 and 270,000 each day, during the Beijing Olympic Games.

More than 129,000 used Tetra Pak containers went into the composite materials that formed the sitting panels of the bench, People's Daily said.

In 2007, 13,000 metric tons of Tetra Pak packaging was recycled in China, according to the Swiss company.
