An increase in demand for specialist glazing signals how the building design industry is responding to the climate crisis, according to new research from Pilkington United Kingdom Limited, part of the NSG Group.

Drawing on research with 152 executives at UK-based manufacturers, a white paper from Vendigital provides an interesting snapshot as to where the manufacturing sector is at on its journey to decarbonisation.

In the early seventeenth century the introduction of coal-fired furnaces in glass-making had caused most glass-production to be in the North East of England where most of the coal mines were located.

It aims to start construction at Greengate Works in 2025, and to begin decarbonising Pilkington UK and the surrounding industry by 2027. The project at Pilkington UK is the first that Grenian will submit for planning permission.

Together with our energy intensive industry cousins in steel and ceramics, we have a long road ahead to decarbonisation. So, what are we doing to accelerate that journey?

Pilkington United Kingdom Limited, part of the NSG Group, is making a multi-million-pound investment in its Merseyside facilities as part of a government-backed project that will save 15,000 tonnes of carbon emissions each year while securing the future of rolled glass manufacturing in the UK.
