Our contribution

As recycled glass is considered to be a secondary aggregate, cullet plays an important role in reducing Saint-Gobain’s demand for virgin material. 

On average, 30% of the total weight of a glass sheet made by Saint-Gobain comes from internal cullet (broken glass from glass manufacturing that is reintroduced into the original process) and pre-consumer cullet (glass cut-offs purchased from glass processors before use of the final product).  This is a direct result of our commitment to sustainable building.
