Low-Carbon Glass

Thanks to a holistic approach to decarbonise, AGC Glass Europe is offering its customers Low-Carbon float glass with significantly less embodied carbon since 2022. It can now also be supplied – after further processing in compliance with the same holistic principles - in AGC’s key ranges of functional glazing products, such as safety glass, insulation glass and solar control glass.

Glass Recycling

Glass is endlessly recyclable like no other product. Our main objective is to use as much recycled glass (called cullet) as possible in our production processes. Using more recycled glass means consuming smaller quantities of raw materials and also consuming less energy to reach melting point in the furnace.
