The UN General Assembly has proclaimed 2022 as the “International Year of Glass”. This UN declaration makes this year special for all glass-related entities including Arc Customised Glass, whether manufacturers, customers or even individuals: many events are taking place around the world, starting with a ceremony at the UN headquarters in Geneva on February 10 and 11.

But why has the UN declared 2022 the “International Year of Glass”? 

From the first grain of sand to the finished product, glass is an item that has existed for hundreds of years and is consumed on a daily basis: from mirrors, to tableware, to smartphone screens or even windows.

This decision aims to raise awareness of glass and its interest, its potential for the future of mankind and the various trades more or less known related to this material. 

Indeed, beyond the importance that it has in our daily life, glass also has many assets that we owe in particular to the glassmaking know-how which has existed since centuries. Indeed, it is a modern and aesthetic material, which is in line with the new consumption patterns, especially because it is recyclable and infinitely reusable, which makes it a sustainable material that allows us to gradually forget the habit of using plastic in society.

At a time when consumers also want to consume responsibly and when the climate emergency is of concern to the most important international bodies, glass thus holds a decisive position for the UN, capable of being the material of tomorrow.

As you can see, 2022 is a memorable year for the glass industry and craftsmanship. During the various events, you will discover the product in its different forms as well as the latest innovations in the sector. This potentially marks the beginning of the glass era, for which Arc Customised Glass has been striving for several years.

For companies, working with glass experts to create products that reflect their image is a way to convince consumers of their efforts to protect the environment.

So, in 2022, let’s all participate together to make this year a success for glass and guarantee its use in an ecological approach.
