With its focus on recycling glass and turning it into insulation, the foam glass industry is already on the right path. Still, CO2 emissions are prominent because of the common use of gas burners which offers poor thermal efficiency at around 30 percent – compared to 90 percent thermal efficiency offered by Kanthal’s electric heating elements.
By recycling glass and turning it into high-end insulation, the foam glass industry is already contributing to a more sustainable world. And by using electric heating, manufacturers can make their product even greener still.
