AGC Glass Europe: Cooperation with Internorm

Internorm makes “iplus Low-Carbon” standard glass

Window manufacturer Internorm is now using “iplus Low-Carbon” thermal insulation glass as standard in its product range, thereby driving forward its sustainability strategy. “Low-carbon” base glass from AGC has a reduced global warming potential (GWP) of just 5.5 kg[1] CO2-eq/m² with a glass thickness of 4 millimetres.

New basic glass products with a significantly reduced CO2 footprint enable window manufacturers to reduce their indirect emissions along their own value chain (Scope 3) and thus achieve their sustainability goals. “We are delighted that Internorm is using our low-carbon product as standard across its entire product range,” says Holger Ebert, Sales Director Upstream DACH at AGC Glass Europe. “With our new products with reduced CO2 emissions, we can make an important contribution to greater sustainability: our iplus Low-Carbon saves around 10,000 tons of CO2 per year, extrapolated to Internorm’s expected annual production.” Helmut Freynhofer, Purchasing Manager at Internorm, confirms the clear line: “Glass is such an elementary component in window production that we wanted to fulfill our ecological responsibility as one of the most important window brands in Europe – hence our decision to use glass across the board. For us, sustainability is part of our quality promise, alongside state-of-the-art technical values.
