Glass Half Full has broken ground on its glass recycling facility in Louisiana, USA. The facility will allow the glass recycler to collect glass across Louisiana and Florida, USA. The company recently secured a $6.5 million funding round led by Benson Capital Partners. The funding will enhance construction plans for the facility, which is located at a former landfill site in Chalmette, Louisiana.
The facility will have the capacity to handle 300,000 pounds of glass a day, most of which will go to coastal restoration projects and cullet production. The site will include optical sorters and other equipment to help sort higher volumes of material, as well as sorting for size. This will allow Glass Half Full to produce cullet for the first time.
Glass Half Full started in 2020 when Franziska Trautmann and Max Steitz, then students at Tulane University, were looking for a way to keep glass out of landfill. The company has since grown to offer subscription pickup services for glass, as well as free drop-off locations. Glass Half Full has since processed over seven million pounds of glass, which the company repurposes into sand for coastal restoration projects, as well as colour-sorted glass for countertops and other applications.
