Louisiana's glass was piling up, so two students decided to fix it.

Franziska Trautmann and Max Steitz founded Glass Half Full in 2020 and have since recycled over 800,000 pounds of glass.That’s the question that Franziska Trautmann and Max Steitz say they pondered one night. They thought about the bottle's destiny to join the over 11 million tons of glassThe Tulane University alumni say they then came up with the idea to turn that bottle back into the glass that birthed it.

Katie Russell, a senior professor in Tulane’s chemical and biomolecular engineering department, said she wants to help restore the coastline because New Orleans is her home. Russell organizes student volunteers for Glass Half Full and says she thinks it’s important to preserve the port town as nature intended.

“The power of this Glass Half Full family in New Orleans, Louisiana, is a community coming together to impart the change that they wanted. Whether that was folks donating time, or money, or expertise. It really is the story of a city or a state, a community coming together to impart the change that they wanted to see happen,” said Steitz.

That's cool. I didn't know you could make crack pipes out of recycled glass. Good for those students to follow their dreams.
