Because glass is made in furnaces that use extremely high temperatures, glass manufacturing has a high carbon footprint. As of 2022, the global carbon dioxide emissions from glass production amounted to 95 million metric tons. Europe, one of the world's leading glass producing regions, accounted for more than one-fifth of that amount.
