Vitro Architectural Glass

Vitro Architectural Glass, North America’s largest and most trusted glass manufacturer, is responsible for many of the commercial glass industry’s most commonly specified products, including high-performance Solarban® low-emissivity (low-e) glasses, Starphire Ultra-Clear® glass and a range of performance-tinted glasses. As a global organization focused on producing glass for the architectural, automotive and containers markets, Vitro is committed to innovation and sustainable manufacturing and end-use, including the development of energy-efficient products and processes. By working closely with customers and partners, Vitro provides expert service and support to ensure that its projects meet or exceed ever-evolving requirements and satisfy demanding sustainability certifications.

Cradle-to-Cradle Certification

Sustainability, Cradle to Cradle Certified™ and LEED®

Making buildings beautiful while preserving the environment

Vitro Architectural Glass was the first U.S. glass manufacturer to have its entire collection of architectural glass products recognized by the Cradle to Cradle Certified™ Products Program and the first North American manufacturer to publish third-party verified Environmental Products Declarations (EPDs) for its Flat Glass and Processed Glass products.

However, Vitro's commitment to sustainability transcends certification programs into responsible manufacturing processes and large-scale energy reduction through the use of energy efficient low emissivity (low-e) glasses. In fact, Solarban® solar control low-e glass and other glasses by Vitro have been installed on hundreds of LEED-certified buildings, including three of the world’s 11 certified net-zero “living” buildings.
