Pilkington UK Architectural team recently completed a greenhouse cullet recovery project at the Watson Street site, showcasing a bright future for more sustainable glass production through recycling opportunities in the horticultural sector.

Reducing the risk of accidents and protecting against a deliberate attack is a vital task installers must undertake when specifying glass. From security to fire resistance, glass can be used to protect a building’s occupants while also allowing the creation of bold and attractive designs.

Pilkington United Kingdom Limited, part of the NSG Group, announced the successful launch of Europe's first carbon capture trial in the flat glass industry, alongside partners C-Capture and Glass Futures.

NSG Group has pioneered a new glass range with 50% less embodied carbon when compared to standard float glass* ‒ representing the lowest carbon product of its kind on the market.

Pilkington United Kingdom Limited, part of the NSG Group, polls architects 12 months on from the introduction of Part O regulations for combatting overheating in new homes. Alongside climate and energy efficiency, Part O is one of the three key factors influencing greater measures to minimise overheating in residential building design. 70% of architects specifying more solar control glazing in homes since Part O was introduced.
