Saint-Gobain achieves the first zero-carbon production of flat glass in the world
Saint-Gobain has become the first player in the world to achieve zero carbon production of flat glass.
This feat was achieved last week by using 100% recycled glass (cullet) and 100% green energy, produced from biogas and decarbonized electricity.
It was implemented for one week in Saint-Gobain's flat glass manufacturing plant in Aniche, northern France.
By mobilizing the network of partners developed by Saint-Gobain, the focus was placed on circularity, with the use of 100% cullet from end-of-life glass from renovation or demolition sites and from production offcuts.
