Three years later, the industry is already on the move, busy pursuing all different avenues to maximize its contributions to the climate neutral economy. The presentation will summarize the main elements of this 2050 vision from manufacturing, processing, product development and end-of-life management and look into progress already achieved by flat glass manufacturers. A special focus will be placed on the added-value of advanced flat glass products, manufacturing decarbonisation and recycling.
