A transformation is planned for our glass making facility in Alloa, UK. A series of upgrades will include gas-oxy combustion furnace tech, more renewable energy and more recycled glass. As the innovations come online, we expect a significant reduction in emissions – creating another contribution toward our goal of reducing CO2 emissions by 25% by 2030. Alloa has been making glass for nearly three centuries. It’s an ideal model of how we approach our long-term sustainability strategy: transforming heritage sites into state-of-the-art glass making facilities for the 21st century through innovative, scalable glass making technology.
