Sustainable Solutions

AGC offers a variety of smart glass in Asia. Our SunEwat energy generating glass solutions transform everyday building materials into power sources. By integrating photovoltaic technology into architectural elements like windows and facades, AGC enables the creation of energy-positive structures that generate clean electricity. Our BIPV and BAPV glass solutions support the shift toward net-zero energy buildings, where energy efficiency and renewable energy generation work hand-in-hand to reduce reliance on traditional power sources. These glass solutions offer not only energy production but also aesthetic flexibility, allowing architects and designers to integrate sustainable energy without compromising design.

AGC’s commitment to sustainability is reflected in our low VOC materials, which are engineered for exceptional performance while minimizing environmental impact. These materials meet the highest environmental standards, offering durability and resistance to harsh conditions. Their low VOC emissions not only contribute to healthier indoor air quality but also align with green building certification systems such as BCA Green Mark, LEED, and others. Widely used in applications ranging from construction to renewable energy, AGC’s low VOC materials enable industries to reduce their ecological footprint without compromising product performance, supporting a more sustainable and resilient future.

Energy efficiency and renewable energy are integral to AGC’s sustainability efforts. We develop innovative solutions, including low-emissivity (Low-E) coatings, solar control glass, advanced insulation materials, and Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV), to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, our eco-friendly materials, such as ETFE membranes, enhance the efficiency and durability of renewable energy systems, supporting solar energy production and advanced energy storage. By integrating sustainable materials into our offerings, we contribute to global energy transitions, helping industries meet stricter regulatory standards, reduce reliance on fossil fuels, and achieve long-term sustainability goals.

Water is a precious resource, and AGC is committed to ensuring that water use becomes more sustainable across regions. Our water treatment technologies focus on improving the efficiency of purification, desalination, and recycling processes. By developing solutions that minimize waste and energy consumption in water management, AGC helps industries and communities adopt more sustainable practices in water use. These innovations are particularly crucial as global water resources become increasingly strained, and hence the need for sustainable growth.

AGC supports the transition to a circular economy by designing sustainable materials and products that can be repurposed, reused, and recycled. With a focus on resource conservation, our materials, including low VOC sealants and fluoropolymer coatings, are developed with the entire lifecycle in mind, contributing to waste reduction and minimizing reliance on virgin resources. By integrating recyclable fluorinated materials and promoting circular manufacturing processes, AGC reduces environmental impact and aligns with global sustainability goals. This commitment to circularity is reflected in our innovative product development, ensuring sustainability is at the heart of everything we do.

AGC is at the forefront of reducing the impact of global warming by focusing on products and solutions that have a low Global Warming Potential (GWP). Our materials and technologies are designed to minimize the release of greenhouse gases during both production and use, supporting industries in meeting stringent environmental regulations. By choosing low-GWP materials, AGC supports industries in lowering their carbon footprint and contributes to global efforts in combating climate change. This focus on reducing carbon footprint is integral to our broader commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship.
