Italian brand Strato has developed an EVA interlayer for safety glass lamination that is fully carbon-neutral and has been awarded a top international certification for sustainability. Click here for more details:
Saint-Gobain Glass and Hydro Buidling Systems are now joining forces to drive decarbonisation and support the construction industry in realising sustainable facades in the sense of a true circular economy with low-carbon glass and up to 100 per cent recycled aluminium profiles. Here are the details.
With Carbon Control, Schüco offers a modular range with which the decarbonisation of windows, doors and facades can be controlled on a project-specific basis. One specific value is becoming increasingly important: the Global Warming Potential (GWP).
The specialist for oversized glass has set itself the goal for 2023 to gradually transition to more environmentally friendly production. And that not only since the energy prices been going through the roof.
AGC and Saint-Gobain, two leading global flat glass manufacturers, have announced that they are collaborating on the development of a pioneering pilot flat glass line: The new line is designed to significantly reduce direct CO2 emissions from glass production. Here are the details.
Velux commissions renewables developer BayWa r.e. to build two solar parks to supply its European operations with green electricity by 2024. The solar parks will be set up so that the land can also be for agriculture.
The United Nations designated 2022 as the International Year of Glass, the first time a man-made material was chosen for worldwide attention.
At glasstec 2022, AGC officially launched its new low-CO2 float glass, developed as part of AGC's "Road to Carbon Neutrality". It is said the new glass has a CO2 footprint of less than 7 kg/m2 CO2 for 4 mm thick glass.
Decarbonisation is a hot topic these days. And that has been made even more critical due to the energy crisis that we are in the middle of. In this upcoming webcast, Saint-Gobain will be presenting a solution:
The former headquarters of the airline SAS in Stockholm is an icon of 1980s glass architecture. Now the entire complex has to be completely renovated. Saint-Gobain supplied the new solar control glass and relied on glass recycling and circular economy: the demolished glass was processed into new facade glass.
It is not just advancing climate change and the need to reach carbon neutrality by 2045 but also our current dependency on fossil fuel imports that make it clear there is no alternative to switching to renewable energies and new technologies. How can and will that work?
For the first time ever, Pilkington Ltd. of the UK, part of the NSG group, has successfully manufactured architectural glass using hydrogen power. Find out here how that was done:
Glass for Europe, the trade association of Europe’s flat glass sector, recently released its 2050 vision on flat glass in a climate-neutral Europe, which points to a virtuous cycle of decarbonisation to maximise contributions to the climate challenge.
