What is currently being discussed at COP26 in Glasgow should ideally be a guideline for everyone in order to put a stop to climate change. This topic is also highly relevant to the glass industry.

Which is why the glasstec UPDATE Conference in Düsseldorf from 25 to 26 November 2021 will see experts from science and economy put their heads together to debate the pressing issues of the future and challenges for the global glass industry.

They will shed light on forward-looking themes like alternative approaches to the manufacturing process, recycling processes as well as requirements for modern façades, which improve the CO2-neutrality of buildings. The entire agenda can be downloaded at www.glasstec-online.com/en/glasstec_update

The Conference will be held in person but can also be followed online with the appropriate digital conference ticket. The conference language is German with English simultaneous interpretation.

Tickets are available from the glasstec Ticketshop: www.glasstec.de/2130

The first day will be all about glass production. Future models for CO2 and climate-neutral production as well as technologies and roadmaps to achieve these goals will be introduced and discussed. Speakers include Michael Marty from the Federal Environment Agency, Aston Fuller, the CEO of Glass Futures Ltd. and Lisa Rammig, Eckersley O’Callaghan and Florian Vogel from Hydro Building Systems Germany.
