The glass industry is entering a decisive decade on its path toward climate neutrality and circularity. To explore how European research and innovation can accelerate this transition, we are hosting a webinar together with the EU-funded projects H2GLASS and GIFFT on sustainable glass manufacturing and recycling.
🗓️ Date: Tuesday, 2 December 2025
🕑 Time: 14:00–15:30 CET
đź’» Location: OnlineÂ
This 90-minute webinar will showcase how collaborative research is shaping the decarbonisation and circular transformation of the European glass industry. The participating projects range from low to high technology readiness levels (TRL).
What to expect
The session will be moderated by Simone Tiozzo from the SSV Glass Research Centre, who will guide the discussion and help extract key messages. The detailed agenda will be released soon.
Keynote :
Bertrand Cazes, Glass for Europe
Project Presentations:
EVERGLASS – Low TRL (2–3): Presented by Jozef Kraxner (FunGlass, Trencin University)
GIFFT – Intermediate TRL (5): Presented by Nerijus Striūgas (Lithuanian Energy Institute)
H2GLASS – High TRL (7): Presented by Chiara Caccamo (SINTEF)
Following the presentations, a roundtable discussion will bring together experts from across the projects to discuss common challenges, best practices, and opportunities for collaboration.
The session will conclude with a short wrap-up on next steps and a participant questionnaire to gather input for future joint events.
Who should join
The event is open to researchers, industry representatives, policymakers, and stakeholders interested in sustainable industrial transformation. Whether you work in glass manufacturing, energy transition, or materials innovation, this webinar offers an opportunity to connect with leading European initiatives shaping the future of the sector.
