While at Waste Expo 2023, ESG was excited to partner with Glass Half Full, a non-profit organization based in New Orleans, dedicated to preserving the environment and restoring the city’s receding coastlines.

On the opening night of Waste Expo, ESG hosted a hugely successful Havana Nights-themed party with a record-breaking turnout. Attendees not only had an incredible time but simultaneously contributed to a sustainable cause as well!

ESG and Glass Half Full joined forces during the Havana Nights party to turn waste into an environmental solution, furthering our commitment to a better planet. Guests were encouraged to deposit their empty glass bottles into special collection bins, which Glass Half Full later collected and processed. By crushing the glass bottles and turning them into clean sand, the organization creates a valuable resource that can be used to help restore the receding coastlines of New Orleans.

New Orleans has been struggling with coastal erosion for years, and finding innovative, environmentally friendly solutions is vital to the city’s long-term sustainability. The Mississippi River and its tributaries deposit sediment, which helps to build and maintain the coastlines. However, human intervention and climate change have contributed to the rapid loss of wetlands, making it essential for organizations like Glass Half Full to step in and make a difference.

By partnering with Glass Half Full, ESG is proud to support a local non-profit organization that is making a tangible difference in the fight against coastal erosion in New Orleans. The process of turning glass bottles into clean sand not only diverts waste from landfills but also provides a sustainable material for coastal restoration efforts.

This initiative raises awareness about the importance of recycling and reusing materials, as well as the power of community-driven environmental solutions. As more individuals and organizations get involved, there will be a broader, more significant impact on the environment and local communities as well.

Together, we can make a lasting, positive impact on our environment and help ensure a vibrant future for the earth that we all share. ESG encourages everyone to join us in this journey by supporting other local initiatives that are working tirelessly to create a more sustainable world.

As we look back on the Havana Nights party, we are filled with gratitude for the support and enthusiasm of our team, guests, and partners. The event was not only a night of celebration but also a testament to the power of collaboration in the pursuit of environmental solutions. Here’s to many more sustainable partnerships and a brighter future for our planet and local communities!
