At P3 Connect, we are passionate about fostering positive change, we're launching a campaign – Spotlight of the Month to shine a light on companies making a difference. Today, we're excited to spotlight Glass Half Full, an inspiring example of innovative solutions in sustainability. Around 28 billion glass bottles end up in landfills annually worldwide. In the UK alone, a staggering 14 million glass bottles and jars are discarded daily. Similarly, in the US, approximately 110 million glass bottles are thrown away daily, with a recycling rate of around 33% as of 2022. “We were a bit fed up that we couldn’t recycle our glass, that all of the wine bottles we were drinking were going to a landfall and so we decided to do something about it,” said Franziska Trautmann, co-founder of Glass Half Full. Established in 2020 by Franziska Trautmann and Max Steitz in New Orleans, Glass Half Full aims to transform glass into environmentally friendly sand and gravel. This innovative approach serves various purposes, from reinforcing coastal restoration and disaster relief efforts through sandbags to crafting flooring, beads, and tiles for construction and drainage and producing new glass items. By redirecting over 300,000 glass items from landfills in 2020 alone, Glass Half Full contributes significantly to the restoration of Louisiana's eroding coastline. Keep an eye out for more companies like Glass Half Full that we believe are making a meaningful impact on our environment and communities! #P3Connect #SpotlightOfTheMonth #GlassHalfFull #Sustainability #Recycling #Innovation #EnvironmentalImpact #SDGs #SDG9 #SDG11 #SDG12 #SDG15

🌿I have mentioned this before. The millwork and building industries are seeing a shift towards more sustainable practices and products. As we all become more conscious of our environmental impact, the demand for eco-friendly materials and processes is growing. From responsibly sourced wood and recycled materials to products with lower VOC emissions, our industry is embracing innovation that reduces our carbon footprint. At STEVENSWOOD, we're proud to be part of this movement, providing solutions that not only meet the high standards of design and durability but also prioritize sustainability. Let's keep building a greener future, one project at a time! 🌱🔨 #Sustainability #Millwork #BuildingBetter #EcoFriendly #StevensIndustries #GreenBuilding #SustainableDesign

When it comes to educating ourselves on ESG - consider us bookworms. 📖🍎 As proud members of the Supply Chain Sustainability School, we are committed to managing balcony sustainability from the front lines. Our dedication to sustainability at Sapphire extends to reducing embodied carbon, carbon emissions, improving biodiversity, and addressing balcony sustainability. Our Next Generation Cassettes™ significantly reduce construction time on-site and minimize crane usage, are lighter than steel, easier to transport and simpler to install - resulting in more energy-efficient solutions and a decrease in waste production from manufacture to end-user use. Furthermore, our balconies are designed to be almost entirely recyclable. The Glide-On technology allows for easy removal at the end of their lifespan, promoting disassembly and recycling of components. This closed-loop approach aligns with our commitment to sustainability and waste reduction. 🔗 Click the link in our comments to visit our balcony sustainability hub and see how carbon, biodiversity and heat loss is addressed in every minute detail of what we do! #Sustainability #EmbodiedCarbon #Biodiversity #BalconySustainability #SupplyChain #WasteReduction #ResidentialConstruction #ConstructionWaste #SupplyChain #ConstructionTraining
