Ever thought about what happens to that wine bottle you toss in the recycling bin? For Danielle Ruttenberg, it’s the start of something beautiful. In this episode of the 'Hippie Haven Podcast', hosted by the eco-conscious Callee, we dive into the inspiring journey of Remark Glass, a small business in South Philadelphia dedicated to turning discarded bottle glass into stunning home accessories.
Danielle, who co-founded Remark Glass in 2016, shares her story of transforming waste into art and how her team is setting new standards in sustainable manufacturing. With a background in glass art and fabrication, Danielle's mission is clear: to create a more sustainable art form by using materials that would otherwise end up in landfills. Remark Glass has earned accolades like the 2019 SustainPHL Business Impact Leader award and recognition as Philadelphia’s first Gold Level Zero Waste business.
But it’s not just about the awards; it’s about community. Instead of relying on single-stream recycling, which often leads to contamination, Remark Glass engages directly with locals, encouraging them to bring their glass to the studio for sorting and processing. This hands-on approach not only reduces waste but also fosters a sense of shared responsibility for the environment. Danielle talks about the challenges they face, like dealing with contaminated glass, and the creative solutions they've implemented to overcome these hurdles.
She also introduces their new nonprofit initiative aimed at further promoting sustainability and environmental activism. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in eco-friendly practices, innovative recycling methods, or simply looking for some inspiration on how to make a positive impact. Tune in to hear how Remark Glass is turning trash into treasure and learn how you can be part of the change.
