The production itself is already greener (less emissions), and greater durability means that products made of this material can be made of a smaller amount (e.g. bottles with thinner walls and the same strength), and thus cheaper and even more ecological.

#LionGlass: New Type of #Glass That’s Greener and 10x More Damage Resistant #TDBNews https://scitechdaily.com/lionglass-new-type-of-glass-thats-greener-and-10x-more-damage-resistant/

New #LionGlass is 50% #greenerglass and 10x #stronger than conventional #glass. It uses less #energy to make and is more #resistant to breaking. This could lead to #lighterweight products that are better for the #environment. #sustainability #greentech

Wow, ich bin erstaunt: es gibt einen, ich würde sagen Durchbruch, bei der Herstellung von #Glas. #Lionglass - entwickelt an der Penn State Universität. Die Widerstandsfähigkeit gegen Risse konnte um den Faktor 10 und die Herstellungstemperatur auf 400 Grad C reduziert werden. Damit könnte weniger / dünneres Glas verwendet werden und die Energieeinsparung entspricht 30%.
