Matt Buckley, UK MD of Pilkington United Kingdom Limited, part of the NSG Group, said: “The trial was a significant success.

New carbon pledges by international glass manufacturer NSG Group have been certified as science based, as its UK subsidiary Pilkington UK completes a string of world-first trials towards achieving decarbonisation. The NSG Group will reduce its carbon emissions by 30% compared with 2018 levels, by 2030. It forms part of a wider plan to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, from emissions directly associated with its manufacturing to carbon produced in its supply chain.

Typically in the spring and autumn months the dew point can be comparatively higher, causing condensation to occur more regularly. Condensation and Modern Glazing Condensation on the external surface is becoming more common as the types of glazing units being fitted into homes today are much more thermally efficient than in the past.
