AGC Glass Europe partners with Dovista in low carbon glass for their specialist applications

This new agreement highlights the growing interest in low-carbon glass, which the industry recognises as valuable in its quest to reduce its carbon footprint and contribute to achieving its sustainability goals.

By integrating AGC's Low-Carbon Glass products into its production, DOVISTA is taking a decisive step towards reducing its Scope 3 emissions and achieving its ambitious sustainability roadmap.

AGC Low-Carbon Glass stands out for its low global warming potential value. It is only 5,5 kg(1) CO2 eq./m² (for a 4 mm thick float glass), a significant reduction compared to standard float glass, whose GWP is 10,3 kg(2) CO2 eq./m² (4 mm thick float glass). Integrated into industrial manufacturing, Low-Carbon Glass makes an effective contribution to meeting Scope 3 emission limits, which take into account indirect emissions produced in the value chain of companies. This is a strategically important approach for sectors subject to stringent environmental regulations and seeking to achieve ambitious sustainability targets.

For Bart Welvaert, Sales and Marketing Director of AGC Glass Europe: “We are extremely proud of this new partnership with DOVISTA. Our collaboration clearly confirms the effectiveness and importance of products with a reduced carbon footprint. In this spirit, we are keen to support our partners on their sustainability journey and support them in achieving their environmental goals.”
