Saint-Gobain: first zero carbon production of flat glass

(CercleFinance.com) - Last week Saint-Gobain announced that it had achieved the world's first zero-carbon production of flat glass, using 100% recycled glass (cullet) and 100% green energy, produced from biogas and decarbonated electricity.


It was implemented for a week at its flat glass manufacturing plant in Aniche, Northern France. "This pilot production demonstrates Saint-Gobain's capacity for innovation throughout the value chain," the group said.

This achievement is a clear demonstration of Saint-Gobain's commitment to reach carbon neutrality by 2050, and complements the investment announced last year to build the world's first carbon-neutral plasterboard plant in Norway.
