Innovative product design supporting circular economy?
The design of automotive glazing is made for function integration (safety and aesthetics) but not made for optimal circularity
Creating Business Models
that incentivize recycling?
New circular business models are the key to move from a linear to a circular economy. Other companies like Caterpillar are good examples of such a transition and can serve as inspiration.
Implementing logistics serving a circular economy?
Mastering return logistics and making intelligent use of the supply chain are keys to ensure product and material return

Circular Economy Facts
- Glass is a perfect material to be recycled. It is easily integrable in the current process . Recycled glass is named cullet and saves energy and primary raw materials generating a positive impact on the CO2 footprint.
- Modern automotive glazing is much more than glass. We need to ensure to maximise the circularity of the whole system and not only glass.
- See here a video of a pilot project of Saint-Gobain Sekurit with Saint-Gobain Glass, the glass recycler Reiling and AUDI. Circularity is at the heart of Saint-Gobain’s sustainability
