Take a drink from a recycled windshield
We all know that dropping our old cars in landfills instead of reusing the valuable resources that make up the mass is not good. The EU has, indeed, a directive that forces 85 percent of cars to be recyclable at the end of their lifespan. In case you're wondering just what might be the result of all this recycling, here's something that caught our interest. UncommonGoods has created a series of wine and beer glasses, plus a fishbowl, that are made from used windshields. These don't come as cheap (and some are out of stock) but they're nice and can be delivered almost everywhere. Just remember that if you are driving, be careful what you drink from them before getting behind the wheel.

Hey Xavier--
Joanna from UncommonGoods here. I wanted to say thanks for mentioning these great recycled windshield glasses in your post! Just to make things clear...we didn't create this series, we just sell it (and tons of other great recycled items). Happy shopping!
