2022: The Year of Sand,
Limestone and Soda Ash

Sand, limestone and soda ash. Natural and abundant raw materials. Mixing these ingredients at very high temperatures creates a miracle: glass. A recyclable and sustainable wonder, with a history dating back to around 4,000 years ago in Mesopotamia. The continuing marvel of glass and all its uses in our everyday life is celebrated this year by the United Nations International Year of Glass. Acknowledging the importance and contribution of glass to global society.

Making Sustainable More Sustainable

As we all know, these days one of the biggest challenges we face is to make our society more sustainable, in every way possible. So, how do you make something that is already sustainable even more sustainable? You make it lighter. You produce it in modern highly advanced electric furnaces powered by renewable energy, like wind and solar. You reuse a combination of recycled and scrap glass. You use local resources close to where the glass is produced, reducing the CO2 footprint to the bare minimum. You do all this by choosing Calaso.
