In this episode of Unpacking Excellence, Daniel Beardsworth is joined by co-hosts MJ Werlein and Ravi Buddhdew for a conversation with Franzisca Trautman of Glass Half Full NOLA, a glass recycling co-op. Franzisca tells us about how she and her co-founder started the organization, the challenges of recycling glass and the process of turning material that would have ended up in a landfill it into sand that can be used to restore New Orleans's coastline or a variety of other more positive outcomes.
