SUCCESSFUL GLASS RECYCLER ALSO BUILDS WETLANDS
🍾 Franziska Trautmann started a recycling facility in a backyard 5 years ago. Now she's Louisiana's biggest glass recycler.
✋ She has fought against the many obstacles that keep glass recycling in the U.S. to only around 30%.
🦉 The facility operates 3 days a week. Her team uses the other days, with some of their glass, to build coastal wetland islands. And wildlife is returning: Birds, gators, crabs, otters.
