Hydro and Saint-Gobain Glass are on their way to reducing the carbon footprint of building facades in half via the use of combined low-carbon solutions. The businesses are using their one-of-a-kind technology to produce goods with decreasing levels of embodied carbon.

In its aluminium facade solutions, Hydro Building Systems employs the utilisation of Hydro CIRCAL, which has a high proportion of recycled post-consumer waste material. The low-carbon glass products produced by Saint-Gobain Glass are made using power generated from renewable sources and include a significant amount of recycled material.

“We share with Hydro the same ambition to be leaders in light and sustainable construction. This partnership will enable us to increase the awareness of low-carbon solutions for façades. This means common specification training for our specifiers to get to know the counterpart offer and joint communication actions,” said Marion Portenseigne, BU Glass Façade Specification Director at Saint-Gobain Glass.

This collaboration paves the way for constructing environmentally friendly structures and gives architects and contractors a possible route to European funding. Both organisations are dedicated to environmental responsibility and green construction practices. This is an important step since buildings are responsible for 39% of global greenhouse gas emissions.

A lifecycle evaluation of façades found that using Hydro CIRCAL 75R façade systems glazed with ORAÉ® products like the COOL-LITE® XTREME ORAÉ® solar control glass might lower the embodied carbon of the building façade by up to 50 per cent.

Global Aluminium Industry Outlook 2023

Hydro and Saint-Gobain Glass have made substantial investments in urban mining throughout Europe to further demonstrate their dedication to circularity in the construction business. In addition, the companies will coordinate to secure the recycling of glass and aluminium from decommissioned façades.
