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

Green Car Congress

The partner companies want to turn the damaged auto glass into recyclable material for model production and have drawn up a multi-stage process for that purpose. In the process, Reiling puts the old car glazing back into plate glass production for the first time. Then all the non-glass impurities such as glue residue are eliminated.
