Glass Half Full recycles glass into sand and gravel for coastal restoration, disaster relief, and more.
About us
Glass Half Full was founded in 2020 by college students who were frustrated with the lack of glass recycling in New Orleans, Louisiana. We started with an idea, a backyard, and a commitment to always seeing the 'glass half full.' Just a few years later, we’ve now diverted millions of pounds of glass from landfills and converted it into sand and gravel for coastal restoration, disaster relief efforts, eco-construction, art, new glass products, and so much more!

- In case you haven’t heard yet - we’re building a massive new glass recycling facility that looks out on Bayou Bienvenue in St. Bernard Parish! The GHF team took a trip out to see the construction in action as the new facility takes shape. The beams for the building are all in place, and beautiful cobalt glass gravel has been laid for what will be our break room and offices, courtesy TERRAZZO MASTERS. The facility is on track to be completed by the end of the year. We’re proud to work with RNGD to bring this dream of a project into reality. They also provided these excellent drone shots!
- Glass Half Full is excited and honored to welcome three amazing new team members! Everyone here is a valuable addition to the team as GHF grows, and we’d love to introduce you to them. On the left is Aisosa O., our new Project + Operations Manager. She’s looking forward to seeing GHF grow and witnessing its impact on the environment. With all the initiatives GHF is involved in, we’re glad to have Sosa here to keep it all running smoothly. Ricky Ostry is our new Sales Rep. Less than a week in, and he’s already super-motivated to connect with business owners across the city to help them access efficient and affordable recycling. And on the right is Sylvia Jones, our new Marketing Coordinator. She can’t wait to spread the word about just how many ways GHF is protecting and promoting the health of the Gulf Coast. Glass Half Full is proud to count these three in our ranks, and we can’t wait to see where they take us!
