Thanks for sharing

Up to the 1980s in France, there was a deposit refund scheme where end users could bring empty glasses to most local shops for recycling. Most families were engaged. There was also a glass recycling plant in a radius of 50 kms. Packaging then moved to more plastic and aluminium and the plant closed. I am certain individuals would welcome the reintroduction of a deposit refund scheme for glass. I know I would.

Looking forward to technological breakthroughs and the early realization

A vital message from Saint-Gobain on breaking the construction waste habit — and one that couldn’t be more timely. The scale of resource consumption in the built environment is staggering, but so is the potential for positive change when industry leaders commit to a circular economy mindset. Saint-Gobain’s approach — from cullet reintegration and glass wool recycling to modular building design and material passports — highlights how innovation and responsibility can go hand in hand. At every level — from design to deconstruction — we need to embed reusability, adaptability, and traceability into the DNA of buildings. Construction waste isn’t just a challenge; it’s an opportunity to rethink how we value materials and design for the long term. It’s inspiring to see the commitment to not just reduce emissions, but also reimagine materials and processes that shape the world we live in. The Vulcain project and offsite construction strategies are bold moves toward a cleaner, more resilient future. Let’s keep pushing forward — with policy support, cross-sector collaboration, and a shared belief that sustainability and performance are not mutually exclusive.
