The environmental impact of windows is not just about energy savings. The manufacturing process has carbon footprints. Are recycled materials enough to offset these, or is there more to the story?

Using sustainable materials such as recycled glass can indeed lower environmental damage. Yet, there’s a need to balance durability and eco-friendliness. That balance is trickier than most realize, and it hides a deeper story of technology versus ecology.
