Hrastnik1860, a glass-bottle producer under Vaider Group, has made remarkable strides in sustainable glass production. By leveraging innovative technology, the company reduced its CO2 emissions by more than 30%. A groundbreaking moment was reached in December 2023 when Hrastnik1860 completed its first industrial production run using hydrogen technology, paving the way for future sustainable practices in the glass industry. With a commitment to sustainability and innovation, the brand incorporated over 60% hydrogen into its glass production, enabling a substantial decrease in its carbon footprint while ensuring the maintenance of high-quality standards. Additionally, Hrastnik1860 introduced a hybrid end-fired regenerative furnace with an impressive electrical melting share of more than 40%, leading to a 20% reduction in direct greenhouse gas emissions and a 30% drop in CO2 emissions. Looking ahead, the company plans to expand its hydrogen and electricity-powered production to serve a broader range of customers. Furthermore, Hrastnik1860 will host Sustainable Week Production in December, inviting businesses to participate and receive carbon-neutral bottles, emphasizing its dedication to sustainability and environmental responsibility.
