Title Reusing post-consumer IGUs: Tempering, Laminating, and Reusing Coated Glass Panes. (Research by AUAS, TU Delft & partners) | Jolanda Tetteroo - Amsterdam University of Applied Science Degree of recognition International Media name/outlet Glasstec Media type Web Country/Territory Netherlands Date 1/06/24 Description The Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences (AUAS) is researching how SMEs can safely, functionally, and cost-effectively reuse old glass panes to produce tempered or laminated glass, and how to reuse glass with low-e coatings. Collaborating with TU Delft, glass processing companies, and engineering and consultancy firms, AUAS has focused on the direct reuse of post-consumer insulated glass units (IGUs) and the reuse of glass panes after IGU disassembly over the past two years. Reusing glass from renovation or demolition projects offers a sustainable solution to reduce energy consumption, CO2- footprint, and reliance on virgin materials. Persons Jolanda Tetteroo
