I don't know about this one being either green or more sustainable. Don't get me wrong, I think it is a very cool idea. I mean a big cardboard wall that you can stick beers in at a party is original and could be a cool gimmick to impress people with, but... Firstly, even though it is made from entirely recycled materials and you are then recycling it and the beer cans there is still a whole lot of energy involved in making this product, from the machines that press and cut the cardboard to the truck coming to pick it up, to the guy at the garbage place that has to pull the beer cans out of your giant cardboard receptacle. But all that is a mute point to the fact that if you have a party the size of the one in the picture that are drunk, by the end of it all you will have a couple gallons of beer in your floor creating a more difficult mess than picking up some beer cans and putting them into the recycle can.
