Glass Europe
© AGC Glass Europe buildings, museums, retail stores, schools, hospitals, sports centers and of course housing. Producing glass in a low-carbon way is also a priority for the business.
“ One of the strategies to achieve this involves the collecting of end-oflife windows and partnering with cullet recycling companies in order to process this waste as usable raw materials. This helps reduce the use of virgin raw material and the associated carbon emissions during production. This will contribute to the circularity of our business.
“ In the automotive and transport sector AGC is the reference provider of value-added solutions for a green, smart and connected mobility. The company has cemented its position as a market leader by meeting the growing demand for a broader range of applications. These include panoramic windshields available with wireless heating, head-up display or anti-IR coating for greater thermal comfort, side windows with UV protection, backlites with built-in antennae that double as defrosting elements and glass roofs that convert from transparent to opaque at the touch of a switch. In Europe one in four cars is fitted with AGC glazing.”
