Members of the Glass and Glazing Federation management team toured the 165,000 square foot Innovation Centre in St Helens where an industrial scale 30 tonnes per day pilot furnace is currently being installed, before meeting with Glass Futures experts to discuss collaborative opportunities such as increasing post-consumer glass recycling.
Including leading glassmakers such as Guardian Glass Europe, Pilkington United Kingdom Limited and Saint-Gobain, the GGE community of over 8000 members accounts for over 60 percent of the sector’s GBP 4 billion annual turnover.
The GGF delegation was accompanied by Brian Scott-Picton in his role as Chair of the Glass Committee at the Worshipful Company of Glass Sellers.
