EU Awards million support to Pioneer Circular Glass Façade
In a strive towards a more sustainable built environment, a:gain, alongside it’s collaboration partners Krone Vinduer, Stykka, Kilden&Hindby, Teknologisk Institut og Force Technology, receives significant support from the European Union to develop an Upcycled Circular Glass Façade solution.
“Glass production is CO2 and resource intensive; direct reuse of discarded glass without remanufacturing has positive impact on our planet”, remarks Thomas Nygaard Hamann, CEO of a:gain. “The construction industry is one of the main drivers of CO2 emissions, waste generation, and resource consumption, and if we take the right action, we can really move the needle.”
He continues: “In Denmark, we consume four times the resources we should. This year Earth Overshoot Day comes already end March. We cannot go on like this – we must change. At a:gain, our mission is to reduce this footprint by providing tangible and scalable circular solutions for a future sustainable built environment. The support from the European Union underscores the importance of investing in sustainable development and fostering collaborative efforts to combat climate change.”
