We will deliver change by working together with our teams and partners to continually look to improve our operations, manufacturing and supply chain processes to ensure they are always as sustainable as they can be.

Collectively we can support the transition to a circular glass economy and reduce the amount of glass ending up in landfill. Under our renew:glass initiative, along with our partners, our goal is to increase the amount of float glass being responsibly recycled and give it new life.

Read on to find out how we plan to improve our impact on the environment and society to create a more sustainable future with our teams, partners and customers. By applying a science-based approach, we can set the best pathway possible to makechange™. We aim to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.

“The initiative will also help us to deliver our vision to makechange™ by transforming our processes and by delivering the low carbon building products that will define the pace of decarbonisation in the built environment.”

Carbon capture is an essential part of the raft of solutions that are urgently needed to tackle climate change. Currently though, barriers such as cost, technology maturity and compatibility within multiple industries, are preventing the widespread adoption of carbon capture.

From new homes to older traditional buildings, Pilkington energiKare™ Triple delivers the best possible energy efficiency surpassing the best performing double glazed Insulating Glass Units (IGUs). Advances in technology have made windows a larger contributor to the energy efficiency of new homes.

Recent changes to Part L of the building regulations in England come into effect from June, and will be a significant step towards achieving the Government’s Future Homes Standard, which aims to ensure that all new homes built from 2025 will produce 75-80% less carbon than those delivered under current regulations.

Aside from regulations driving demand, 62% stated that they believe climate change is driving the growing need for specialist glazing to keep buildings the correct temperature and reduce their carbon footprint, with three quarters (76%) of specifiers also conscious of the Government’s impending 2050 net zero target.

You may not realise it but simply replacing your plastic conservatory roof with a new glass roof, incorporating Pilkington Activ™ Self-cleaning glass, will have a tremendous effect on the way your conservatory looks, feels and sounds.
