Why reuse existing insulating glass?

Glass has enormous benefits, but its production and recycling could be even more sustainable. Making glass requires scarce resources and consumes a lot of energy, which has a significant impact on our climate. Although glass can be recycled well, this too remains an energy-intensive process.

Circular glass offers a solution in many ways and helps to achieve climate goals of individuals, companies and governments. Therefore, do not hesitate to use isoMaX circular glass in glass repair, sustainability and renovation projects. We will gladly take over the old glass to close the circle.

Benefits reuse

  • Reduction of CO2 emissions: The production of new glass is very energy intensive and results in very high CO2 emissions. Reuse significantly reduces these emissions.
  • Encourage circular economy: Reusing insulation glass contributes to a circular economy by bringing materials back into the chain.
  • Long-term cost savings: Although initial investment is required, in the long run, reuse leads to cost savings and sustainability.
  • Resource conservation: Sand, an essential raw material for glass production, is becoming scarce. By reusing glass, we reduce dependence on new raw materials.

Adverse environmental effects of sand mining

  • Essential raw material: Sand is crucial for concrete and glass, and demand is rising worldwide.
  • Environmental Impact: Sand mining leads to ecosystem destruction, coastal erosion, and biodiversity loss.
  • Social problems: Illegal sand mining harms local communities and causes conflict.
  • Sustainability: There is a need for regulation and sustainable management to reduce damage.
  • Alternatives needed: Innovation and reuse of materials can reduce pressure on sand mining.
