Eco Spirit for sustainability
Creating the future involves having ideas and taking responsibility. It is also about our innovations for product safety and the protection of the environment and natural resources. Sustainability is a crucial part of our innovative thinking and acting.Responsible product development and production
The world of coatings and functional printing constantly inspires us to explore new features on glass. Added-value glass solutions can greatly contribute to sustainability, i.e. to reduce the energy consumption of appliances. All our processed flat glass products comply with the relevant environmental standards such as RoHs and REACH.
Sustainable solutions for glass
Our glass solutions help businesses and families achieve their sustainability goals. We put a great deal of effort into eco-friendly products and processes, including the development of new coatings.
1) Heat-reflective coatings
One of our main areas of expertise is heat-reflective coatings, which increase the energy efficiency of baking ovens while reducing the outside temperature of the outer oven door to make it safe to touch.
2) Sustainable product development
During the development process we have a strong focus on sustainability and reducing the carbon footprints of all our product solutions and processes. All materials and inks that we use in our production are free of heavy metals and conform to Reach standards.
