Glass Half Full is Louisiana's grassroots glass recycler [1]

['Andrew Yi']

Date: 2022-08-05

Glass Half Full started from a want to divert local glass bottles from ending up in the local landfill, out of frustrations because no local glass recyclers existed in New Orleans, LA in 2020; two years and a half years later, Glass Half Full have sustainably redirected an estimated 4 million plus beer bottles' worth of glass into "disaster relief and prevention, coastal restoration, eco-construction, new glass products, and so much more!"

Glass Half Full has gained praise and support from the local communities/organizations, the National Science Foundation, and even Mike Rowe's reality TV show "Returning the Favor."
