CIRCUCLARITY TWO

A look back at the 2026 event

In the glass and façade industry, solutions are increasingly being developed that combine environmental responsibility with technological innovation. CircuClarity Two showcases projects, materials and processes that can already be implemented today – whilst also exploring the framework conditions necessary for circular approaches to have a long-term impact.

From idea to impact

Taking circularity in the glass industry a step further

CircuClarity Two focuses on the next crucial step: how can promising pilot projects be turned into robust, scalable standards for practical application? Which processes, materials and partnerships are ready for the next step – and which require new framework conditions to realise their potential?

CircuClarity brings together people from the fields of manufacturing, processing, engineering, architecture and research. The initiative continues to evolve: it creates spaces where knowledge is shared, perspectives are linked and joint strategies for a circular future for the industry are developed.

Outlook on the circular glass industry of tomorrow

Insights from practice and research

CircuClarity Two demonstrates how circular approaches in the glass and façade industries are taking the next step: from initial successful applications to viable processes and scalable standards. The focus is on projects, experiences and scientific findings that show how the circular economy works in practice.

Overview of Sessions and Speakers ❯

Experience practical examples

How can circular solutions be put into practice today?

Discover projects and applications that demonstrate how circular solutions can already be used today in production, processing or recycling.

Understanding scalability

What is needed to turn successful pilot projects into robust standards?

Find out which processes, materials and partnerships are needed to ensure that promising approaches work on a larger scale.

Redefining value chains

How can different stakeholders work together to enable closed-loop material cycles?

Gain insights into how industry, architecture and research are working together on circular processes and closed-loop value chains.

Making the impact visible

How can environmental impact be made measurable, traceable and comparable?

Understand how scientific findings, data and transparent assessment models can help to better gauge the impact of circular solutions.

Moderation

CircuClarity Two is hosted by Lisa Rammig and Linda Hildebrand, who bring different perspectives on circular processes, sustainable façade solutions and the transformation of the construction industry. Drawing on their professional expertise, they guide the discussions, contextualise insights from practice and research, and forge links between technological approaches and new forms of collaboration along the value chain.
