Description
Pilkington Mirai™, low carbon glass offering 50% less CO²e* vs Pilkington's standard glass product. Low carbon glass products to help meet stricter sustainability requirements in the built environment. Achieved using a combination of alternative fuel, high recycled glass content, and green electricity sources, Pilkington Mirai™ offers identical quality, performance, and aesthetics as Pilkington Optifloat™ Clear, but with only half the impact on the environment.
Features and benefits:
- 50% less embodied carbon* compared to Pilkington's standard float glass.
- A low Global Warming Potential (GWP**) less than 5.5 kg CO²e per m²*.
- Manufactured using a combination of alternative fuel, high recycled glass content, and 100% renewable electricity.
- Identical neutral aesthetics, exceptional quality, and performance as our standard product, manufactured in accordance with EN 572-2.
* Compared with Pilkington standard 4 mm Pilkington Optifloat™ Clear (European baseline).
** The Global Warming Potential (GWP) value is derived from internal calculations. An Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) for Pilkington Mirai™ verified by an independent third party is in preparation. This will be based on a cradle-to-grave and module D approach in accordance with the requirements of EN 15804:2012+A2:2019/AC:2021 and Product Category Rules (PCRs) in accordance with EN 17074:2019.
