[00:00:00]In the fight against coastal erosion, an unexpected hero emerges: recycled glass.

[00:00:05]Our beaches are vanishing, swept away by relentless waves and human intervention.

[00:00:10]But innovation shines through the grains of sand, recreated from discarded glass bottles.

[00:00:16]This process not only reduces landfill waste, but also mimics the natural properties of sand, offering a sustainable solution to replenish our shores.
