Audi and partners piloting project to turn faulty car glass into new windowpanes for the Audi Q4 e-tron

Green Car Congress

Saint-Gobain Glass then mixes the recyclate with, among other things, quartz sand, sodium carbonate, and chalk—the basic components of glass. To do that, the glass granulate is initially segregated by type for clear verification of source and color and then stored in bins. That will mean that the company will emit up to 75 tons less CO?
