Low-carbon #glass is expected to become a mainstream specification choice over the next five years, but concerns are still preventing wider adoption, according to new research from @pilkingtonglass.

It was good to participate in this @GlassForEurope workshop today. The new #CPR will bring some major changes to the #glass industry. Revision of hENs for glass in building might seem a long way, but there is much work ahead.

[Glass for Europe @GlassForEurope]

Today we were excited to host a workshop for our members laying out what is set to change in the EU's #ConstructionProductsRegulation.

The updated CPR legislation introduces sustainability requirements, promotes digitalization, and aims to solve deadlocks in standardisation.

@RenovateEurope @GlassForEurope @adrien1193 An ambitious #EPBD could trigger an increase in #renovation rates of the ailing building stock in the #EU

[Renovate Europe..Now @RenovateEurope]

"Glass for Europe is calling the EU institutions to secure a deal on the #EPBD.

This is crucial to help citizens reduce energy bills and for Europe to respect its climate neutrality objective."
