Abstract:
This presentation will offer an in-depth overview of Şişecam, one of the global leaders in the glass industry, showcasing its diverse areas of operation, extensive global footprint, cutting-edge production technologies, and strong commitment to sustainability. Operating across multiple sectors such as flat glass, glassware, glass packaging, glass fiber, and chemicals, Şişecam continuously innovates to meet the evolving demands of the global market. With production facilities in 14 countries and a sales network that spans over 150 markets, Şişecam has established a robust global presence, positioning itself as a key player in the international glass industry. The company's production technologies are state-of-the-art, incorporating advanced processes that not only enhance efficiency but also significantly reduce environmental impact.
A focal point of this presentation will be Şişecam's "Plant of the Future" initiative, a transformative business model which prioritizes low-carbon emission technologies, including the development of electric and hybrid furnaces, alternative combustion technologies, and carbon capture solutions. These efforts, aimed at reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions, not only reinforce Şişecam's commitment to sustainability but also highlight the importance of collective action within the glass industry to address the shared challenge of decarbonization. By encouraging collaboration and developing shared solutions, the "Plant of the Future" demonstrates how such efforts can lead the industry toward lower carbon emissions and a more sustainable operational model.
