A Milestone for Stronger and Lighter-Weight Glass Containers

Gerresheimer contracted the glass melting technology specialist HORN to replace the existing furnace and to convert it to the latest low-CO2 glass melting technology.

In March, HORN announced its collaboration with Ambev to supply a state-of-the-art, energy-efficient glass melting furnace equipped with three forehearths for Ambev's new container glass plant in Brazil.

By targeting the most energy-intensive part of the glass production process, namely the melting of the glass, ZeroCO2Glas opens up the possibility of saving a particularly large amount of energy and greenhouse gases.

Şişecam, one of the top five global manufacturers in both glass packaging and flat glass sectors, will participate in the 29th Eurasia Packaging Fair which will take place from October 23-26 at the TÜYAP Fair and Congress Center.
