Aiming for true net zero

Vetrotech has always been on the safe side, and our uncompromising dedication to safety naturally extends to our environmental responsibility. That understanding has driven us to be ambitious, but also accountable. Too many in our industry use sustainability claims to obscure rather than clarify, resulting in a lack of credibility that hurts everyone. The base material in our products is glass from a minimum of 13% pre-consumer waste. We have established green energy targets, and 30% of the energy we use at our sites today is 100% renewable – which will grow to 100% by 2050. We’ve implemented verifiable company-wide waste management and recycling optimization, LED lighting, and closed-loop recirculation of production water. We also publicly report our CO2 impact annually and have committed to cutting our own CO2 emissions to their lowest possible levels before offsetting what remains with credits. It’s a good start, and we’re doing more. Our aim is to not emit any more carbon than we absorb by 2050. True net zero, with emphasis on the verifiable true.
