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.
The recent publication by the European Commission of the communication on The European Green Deal sets a new horizon that Europe’s flat glass sector looks forward to with enthusiasm and cautious optimism.
