HVG-DGG will present its latest projects on sustainability and the future of glass technology at this year’s glasstec trade fair in Düsseldorf, Germany.
The Research Association of the German Glass Industry (HVG) and the German Society of Glass Technology (DGG) will have a joint stand in Hall 11 / G04.
HVG-DGG will also join forces with twelve other institutions and organisations dedicated to glass-related research and development.
The organisations will present their latest research projects focused on advancing the glass industry through sustainable practices and technological innovations.
Key projects include:
- MaxScherben: Enhancing recycling rates through improved classification of recycled glass (cullet).
- H2-Glas: Investigating the admixture of hydrogen to natural gas to reduce CO2 emissions.
- Glas-CO2: Utilising carbon dioxide from the melting process to produce synthetic fuels, thereby contributing to a closed-loop system and reducing environmental impact.
- TransHyDE-Sys: Analysing the infrastructure requirements for green hydrogen use in glass production.
- ReInvent: Developing sector-specific and cross-sector potential analyses for CO2 reduction, ensuring knowledge transfer and determining CO2 savings potential across industries.
Dr Thomas Jüngling, Managing Director of HVG-DGG, said: “glasstec offers a unique opportunity to discover the latest innovations, network with industry leaders, and exchange pioneering ideas.
“For HVG-DGG, it is an essential event to showcase our research and development efforts and to reinforce our commitment to sustainable practices and technological advancement in the glass industry.”
The joint stand will also feature contributions from research institutes, colleges, and universities, to reflect the strength and diversity of Germany’s national research capacities.
This collaborative effort not only highlights the importance of knowledge sharing but also demonstrates the collective drive towards innovation and eco-responsibility in the glass industry.
