Construction Glass Market Recent Developments
- In October 2023, Pilkington United Kingdom Limited, part of the NSG Group, pioneered a new glass range with 50% less embodied carbon when compared to standard float glass* ‒ representing the lowest carbon product of its kind on the market.
- In July 2023, HeatCure, a transparent nanotechnology coating, launched its operations in India. The primary function of this nanotechnology-based coating is to block heat gain from glass doors, windows, and facades.
- In June 2023, Saint-Gobain Glass launched the production of India’s first low-carbon glass. Saint-Gobain India launched the first production of a new glass with a low carbon footprint. The product should have an estimated carbon footprint reduction of approximately 40% compared to the existing Saint-Gobain Glass India products. Such environmental performances could be reached thanks to the use of 2/3rd of recycled content as raw material, natural gas, and electricity from renewable energy sources.
