Stay Glassy

Project Description

Stay Glassy looks to target glass bottles, an abundant and improperly disposed resource in the Champaign-Urbana community, to create a product that will benefit the community. By working with fellow students to create a viable marketplace product, Stay Glassy achieves two goals: to reduce glass waste and raise awareness of glass properties and reuse benefits. This project is student led and contains an educational element on glass as a non-downgrading material perfect for reuse.

This project does have a three-semester long history with Illinois Enactus. In the Spring 2017 semester, the team sold 96 customized bottles for events such as Mom's weekend and Valentine's day, hosted 3 workshops (Allen Hall, Illinois Business Council, and University High School Agora Week), and committed 184 hours to the project overall. Stay Glassy needs funding primarily for a space to create the product and for machinery which will increase scalability and allow Stay Glassy to impact more students at the University and reuse more bottles.
