The AGC Glass Europe facility in Seingbouse, France, is now producing low-carbon Planibel Clearlite, a float glass whose CO2 footprint has been reduced by more than 40%,

Saint-Gobain has partnered with UK contractor McLaren Construction and Powerday on a glass recycling effort. McLaren supplies glass recovered from an ongoing apartment refurbishment in Camden and Powerday collects and crushes the glass; the resulting cullet (crushed glass) will then be recycled back into window glass manufactured by Saint-Gobain, which will support glass production with high recycled content.

In recent years, consumer preferences have shifted towards more sustainable and eco-friendly products.
