LIVE from glasstec

Demand for laminated safety glass is holding strong, driven by rising safety needs and new advances in sustainability and recycling.

The German code for the design of glass structures, DIN 18008, was first published in its final version in 2010 and 2013; as several major changes were suggested, the periodical revision took longer than expected.

Glass finishing is a key element of modern glass processing. Over the past decades it has developed into a precise science allowing the properties of glass surfaces to be treated selectively.

A recent study by BV Glas and Stuttgart University outlines three pathways to achieve climate neutrality in the glass industry by 2045.

‘glass technology live’ will showcase a promising new development along with many other innovations.

The approaches proposed by planners and architects for adapting to climate change will be discussed at glasstec 2024 (22-25 October, Düsseldorf) at its Architecture Forum.
