R&D Niklas Z. Saving resources and energy, this is what matters to Niklas, head of R&D "My research focuses on improving constantly the manufacturing of glass. In our in house melting laboratory we are testing new, secondary raw materials for our glass batch and strive to reduce the industrial usage and hence save the natural resources of quartz sand, soda and lime. By adding cullet to our batch, we are reducing the energy consumption and thereby the CO2 footprint of our company."
