More than 1 500 000 tons of cullet are melted each year in our 36 furnaces. This enables:A reduction of 1 800 000 tons of raw materials (natural resources) consumed,A reduction of at least 375 000 tons of CO2 emitted, which results in a high limitation of the greenhouse effect caused by greenhouse gas emissions (since cullet can be melted using less energy).At European level, only 5% of end-of-life glass is now recycled in Europe ("post-consumer" recycling), and mostly as a road embark or to produce glass wool or bottles.Documentation availableThe declaration certifying that 30% of Saint-Gobain’s glass is made with cullet (internal and pre-consumer).20 • BREEAM® with Saint-Gobain GlassSandwell College atrium, West Bromwich, UK BREEAM Very Good Architect: Bond Bryan SGG PLANITHERM ULTRA N, SGG COOL-LITE SKN 174 II and SGG COOL-LITE SKN 165 IIBREEAM® with Saint-Gobain Glass • 21Exemplary performance criteria for existing BREEAM® issueINNOVATION1010Credits CreditsAim
