The glass industry’s need for high energy is the elephant in the room that simply cannot be ignored. Brand owners are looking at alternative materials, glassmakers are trialling alternative fuels and several industry bodies have combined forces to build trial plants.

In the last few decades, forward thinking companies have introduced innovations in glass production processes to reduce energy consumption and emissions, as well as boost efficiency.

As a global pioneer in glass melting and conditioning, SORG has long been a vocal supporter of electric melting technology. The business is already paving the way for sustainable melting, most recently launching a hybrid furnace, the CLEAN Melter, which can reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions by as much as 80%.

To mark its 150-year anniversary, SORG is presenting a clear and powerful message of intent to the glass industry.

One that glassmakers and brand owners can take reassurance from and get behind as their strategy for the future, backed by a world-leading partner with proven resilience and longevity.

MISSION BY SORG is a commitment to develop the next generation of sustainable melting technologies that will slash emissions and help glassmakers to produce net zero glass at volume within the near future.

To support this journey, the company is investing heavily in research and development over the coming decades with the sole objective of working alongside glass plants to achieve large scale sustainable melting.
