6. Decarbonization and recyclability
Being considered as an energy intensive industry, the glass fiber industry has been implementing measures to reduce its environmental footprint, such as driving for a more energy efficient glass manufacturing, limiting CO2 emissions, reducing waste to landfill, limiting the use of virgin raw materials, water.
6.1 Decarbonization of the glass fiber industry
One challenge for the glass industry is to keep investing in decarbonization in a cost effective manner. CO2 emissions (the main greenhouse gas to consider during glass fiber production) resulting from the consideration of the entire ecosystem (scope 1 + 2 + 3) are used to analyze the fiber’s life cycle. Through a Life Cycle Analysis, GWP (Global Warming Potential) parameters for end-of-life materials are calculated,...
