Glass for Europe’s Post

European flat glass products are essential to realising Europe’s Green Deal ambitions, so it’s time for the industry’s decarbonisation efforts to pay off. Glass for Europe have called for targeted action in four key areas: - maintain and strengthen Europe’s industrial base - significantly boost window replacement - properly support energy and carbon efficiency of our industrial processes - strongly incentivise the recycling of old glazing #glass #glazing #GreenDeal #decarbonisation #recycling #windowreplacement #refurbishment #EU #Europe

EUROPEAN CONTAINER GLASS INDUSTRY ON PATH TO NET ZERO CALLS FOR FAST ACCESS TO LOW CARBON ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURES The European container glass industry has published its landmark report today (1), marking the first and most comprehensive industry-wide research detailing the steps being taken to decarbonise glass manufacturing. The report is accompanied by a dedicated section on the FEVE website, including an Online Map with over 90 industry case studies showcasing decarbonisation efforts across Europe. While the industry is fully committed to this transformation, it cannot achieve its ambitious goals alone. Collaboration is essential for the container glass industry to deliver a packaging solution that is not only fully circular but also climate neutral.

British Glass recently released a report on the glass industry’s net zero progress in the United Kingdom, detailing the sector’s carbon reduction efforts and highlighting the challenges and opportunities ahead. The report indicates that decarbonization efforts in the U.K.’s glass industry have accelerated throughout the past four years, but long-term aspirations will need additional funding and policy intervention. #usgnn #usglass British Glass #sustainability

We need a strong European Industrial Deal🏭🇪🇺🍃 In light of the ambitious targets for climate neutrality by 2050, and the recent 2040 target announcement, Europe's industry faces unprecedented challenges. With increasing pressure from the US and China, coupled with economic downturns and shifting investment landscapes, European industries are at a critical juncture. VinylPlus' endorsement of the #AntwerpDeclaration underscores the commitment of the #PVC industry to increasingly sustainable solutions across vital sectors such as healthcare, construction, food, digital infrastructure, and mobility. As Europe navigates its industrial transition, cohesive policies that prioritise sustainability, competitiveness, and resilience will be paramount. https://lnkd.in/d5mxQeKU #Eugreendeal #euindustrialdeal

Our Chairman Davide Cappellino (AGC Glass Europe) reacts to the publication of Mario Draghi's report on the 'Future of European #Competitiveness' ⤵ The report realistically sets out the challenges ahead and makes proposals which must guide the new Commission over the next five years.🎯 The EU needs to rely on industries capable of manufacturing lower-carbon solutions which contribute to reducing our #emissions. This will be possible with strong economic and industrial policies that tackle high #Energy costs, support innovation to #decarbonise manufacturing processes and create a global level playing field. We must also strive to improve the #EnergyEfficiency of buildings, industries and energy systems. Let's not forget about it because it's a key part of the solution to boost competitiveness, growth and decarbonisation! #Glass #Glazing #Industry #Decarbonisation #EnableSustainableTransformation

This is an interesting premise for improving operational costs through the use of more efficient plant process heat generation. It is worth following them during their development phase.

Why does #RecAL (a #HorizonEurope project) want to focus on #aluminium? Read through European Aluminium Foil Association (EAFA)'s 'Vision 2025' report to get a better understanding of why improving upcycling & circular economy for this material is so important to achieving our climate goals https://lnkd.in/gGfabkFb #aluminum #circularaviation

The road to carbon neutrality is long, yet every step counts. Here Bofort connected ARC – Amager Ressourcecenter (where CO2 is captured) with Carbonaide where CO2 is used to produce concrete. The LCO2 has been stored and transported safely in one of our T75 ISO tanks. A very interesting novel and promising technology. #CCUS #CO2 #caboncapture #concrete

AGC Glass Europe’s Low-Carbon Glass has been selected by DOVISTA, a prominent industrial window maker, to produce and supply specific end-products in 2024. This new agreement underscores the growing interest in and recognised value of Low-Carbon Glass, which helps industries reduce their carbon footprint and support their sustainability objectives. By integrating Low-Carbon Glass products into its manufacturing processes, DOVISTA is taking a decisive step towards reducing its Scope 3 emissions and advancing its comprehensive sustainability roadmap. AGC Low-Carbon Glass features a reduced Global Warming Potential of 5.5 kg(1) CO2 eq/m² (for 4 mm float glass). This represents a significant reduction compared to standard float glass, which has a GWP of 10.3 kg(2) CO2 eq/m² (for 4 mm float glass). When integrated into the manufacturing process of industrial companies, Low-Carbon Glass can effectively address Scope 3 emissions, which include indirect emissions that occur in their value chain. This approach is crucial for industries striving to meet stringent environmental regulations and sustainability targets. To read more, click here -> https://lnkd.in/eiwUGqYa #glassglobal #glass #AGC
