LionGlass: New Type of Glass That's Greener and 10x More Damage Resistant
Globally, glass manufacturing emits at least 86 million tons of carbon dioxide annually. However, a new type of glass called LionGlass, developed by Penn State researchers, offers the potential to reduce this carbon output by 50%. Not only does this innovative glass demand considerably less energy f
Glass that's greener?
Shouldn't it be the grass that's always greener?
Glass is greener on the other side due to physics
Soda lime glass, yes.
Oh that ok. It's not green on this side.
pass, I want clear glass.
I’m still waiting until we switch to transparent aluminum. some crazy Scottish guy in San Fransisco traded the formula for a bunch of plexiglas back in the mid-80s.
Ohhhh! Greener as in more environmentally friendly, not color.
But is it cost effective?
they don't say but it uses significantlly less energy which I believe is the biggest expense in glassmaking. Im hoping it can be a replacement and that we might see more glass containers come back given its greater strength thus lower chance at shattering from a fall.
Sounds pretty neat!
