Lower-Carbon Glass
As the construction industry evolves to meet global sustainability goals, the demand for eco-friendly materials is stronger than ever.
At Radii Planet Group, we are committed to reducing the carbon footprint of commercial interiors. One of our key initiatives is offering lower-carbon glass across our projects.
By integrating this innovative material into our glass partitions and doors, we help our clients achieve their sustainability targets without compromising on aesthetics or performance.
What is Lower-Carbon Glass?
Lower-carbon glass is a revolutionary product designed to reduce the carbon footprint associated with traditional glass manufacturing.
It incorporates a higher percentage of recycled materials, significantly lowering carbon emissions and resource consumption throughout production.
By choosing lower-carbon glass in your projects, you can take a proactive step toward reducing embodied carbon while still benefiting from the same high-quality performance and sleek aesthetics expected from traditional glass.
Circular Economy
Glass is infinitely recyclable[1], making it a key material in the UK’s circular economy and resource efficiency aspirations.
It can be remelted numerous times without any loss of quality, supporting sustainability efforts worldwide.
The process of recycling glass involves breaking it down into cullet (small glass pieces), which are then remelted and reformed into new products.
Since cullet melts at a lower temperature than raw materials, this process requires less energy than manufacturing non-recycled glass.
Lower Carbon Footprint
Low-carbon glass represents a breakthrough in sustainable building materials, offering glass with significantly lower embodied carbon compared to standard glass.
It marks a key milestone in the global glass industry’s roadmap toward carbon neutrality[2][3].
These products maintain the same aesthetics, quality, and technical performance as traditional glass but with substantially lower CO₂ emissions.
Performance Without Compromise
Lower-carbon glass maintains the same durability, acoustic performance, and visual clarity as traditional glass.
Whether for glass partitions, doors, or balustrades, it offers the perfect balance of functionality and sustainability.
Why Choose Lower-Carbon Glass?
Using lower-carbon glass is a great way to improve a project’s performance against sustainability goals.
We now offer the option of lower-carbon glass in our partitioning and glazing solutions, providing clients with more sustainable choices without sacrificing quality.
By adopting lower-carbon glass in your projects, you can actively contribute to reducing embodied carbon in construction while maintaining the highest standards of performance and aesthetics.
If you’re looking to incorporate sustainable, high-quality glass solutions into your next project, get in touch with our team today.
