"It started with a lament over the fate of empty beer and wine bottles.
In early 2020, Franziska Trautmann and Max Steitz, then seniors at Tulane
University, were spitballing ways to keep their glass out of the trash. For all
of its imbibing, New Orleans didn’t offer curbside glass recycling. Pretty much
all of the many bottles drained in the Crescent City ended up in landfills.
For Ms. Trautmann and Mr. Steitz, this wasn’t just galling, but a missed
opportunity. The city’s wetlands were fast eroding, and glass could be ground
up into sand. What if they collected glass around town, crushed it into sand
and put it to good use?"
