Franziska Trautmann was at the end of her college career when her frustration at her city’s (New Orleans, Louisiana) lack of a recycling program for glass boiled over.
Rather than just stewing on it, she jumped into action and created the solution that she wanted to see — with the help of her friends, Franziska set out to change her city for the better with her company, Glass Half Full.
Today, Glass Half Full is a company that collects glass in New Orleans and converts it to beach-like sand and glass cullet which is then used for disaster relief, eco-construction, new glass products, and so many other things.
Glass Half Full reimagines recycling — and they collect all this glass for free with the help of volunteers too.
