AGI Glaspac, Indian-owned Glass Company, to partner with UK-based Glass Futures

Hyderabad, June 5 (UNI) AGI Glaspac, India’s glass packaging company, on Thursday announced its partnership with UK-based Glass Futures, a global research and technology organization dedicated to developing sustainable, low-carbon solutions for the glass industry on World Environment Day.
By aligning with global momentum toward net-zero emissions, AGI Glaspac will actively contribute to and benefit from pioneering research in low-carbon glass production, including collaborative trials involving biofuels, hydrogen energy, carbon capture technologies, and circular raw material systems, the company said in a release.
‘Glass Futures’ 30tpd experimental R&D furnace in St Helens, UK, due to go live in the coming weeks, will serve as a scalable testbed for innovation.
AGI Glaspac’s involvement will help tailor collaborative international innovation for application in India, building a bridge between global sustainability research and local industrial implementation.
Commenting on this partnership, Rajesh Khosla, CEO, AGI Glaspac said,” This collaboration isn't just about reducing our footprint; it is about pioneering a sustainable future for glass manufacturing in India and globally. We are excited to contribute our expertise and learn from Glass Futures' cutting-edge research, accelerating our journey towards environmental sustainability.”
“We are happy this has resulted in AGI joining Glass Futures and look forward to collaborating alongside our worldwide network of sustainability pioneers,” said Dave Fordham, Glass Futures’ Global Engagement Lead.
All India Glass Manufacturers’ Federation (AIGMF) Secretary Vinit Kapur said, “AIGMF is actively promoting glass as a sustainable material and participates in various initiatives to enhance glass’s environmental credentials. AGI Glaspac becoming a Glass Futures member to collaborate on sustainability projects is an important development for the Indian glass sector, as well as the wider UK and global markets”.
With growing demand for eco-friendly packaging and increasing regulatory pressure on carbon-intensive industries, the AGI Glass Futures partnership underscores the importance of united global action. It also places India firmly on the innovation map as a contributor to solving some of the toughest challenges facing industrial sustainability.
