Glass Futures’ Chief Executive, Richard Katz said: “I’m delighted Juergen has agreed to join Glass Futures as an Advisor to the Board. This is a further indication of Glass Futures’ acceptance as a growing major industrial innovator and thought leader, as demonstrated a few months ago with the incredibly successful biofuel trial reducing the carbon footprint of some 3 million beer and spirits bottles by some 90%.”
