Description

Pilkington Mirai™, low carbon glass offering 50% less CO²e* vs Pilkington's standard glass product. Low carbon glass products to help meet stricter sustainability requirements in the built environment.

Features and benefits:

  • 50% less embodied carbon* compared to Pilkington's standard float glass.
  • A low Global Warming Potential (GWP**) less than 5.5 kg CO²e per m²*.
  • Manufactured using a combination of alternative fuel, high recycled glass content, and 100% renewable electricity.
  • Identical neutral aesthetics, exceptional quality, and performance as our standard product, manufactured in accordance with EN 572-2.


* Compared with Pilkington standard 4 mm Pilkington Optifloat™ Clear (European baseline).


** The Global Warming Potential (GWP) value is derived from internal calculations. An Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) for Pilkington Mirai™ verified by an independent third party is in preparation. This will be based on a cradle-to-grave and module D approach in accordance with the requirements of EN 15804:2012+A2:2019/AC:2021 and Product Category Rules (PCRs) in accordance with EN 17074:2019.
