The huge CO₂ gain from mass switching to BENG glass: this is what it really delivers!
If all of the Netherlands switches to BENG glass, we realize structural CO₂ savings of as much as 4.1 megatons per year - that's equivalent to 170,000 car trips from Amsterdam to Paris! In production alone, BENG glass saves over 24,000 tons of CO₂ annually . For an average home, BENG glass means a saving of 1,800 kg of CO₂ per year, which over 50 years can increase to as much as 90,000 kg of CO₂ per home. BENG glass thus contributes directly to achieving our climate goals: it can achieve more than 8% of the CO₂ reduction in the built environment by 2030 and help the Netherlands become climate neutral by 2050. It's not just any glass, it's a revolution in sustainable building.
Why is vacuum glass the gamechanger that will help solve the climate crisis?
The climate crisis calls for radically different solutions. Yet the biggest energy leak in buildings often remains invisible: the glass. BENG glass is not just insulation glass, but a pioneering technology with a U-value starting at 0.35 W/m²K - almost twice as good as triple glazing (0.70), three times better than HR++ (1.10) and better than any other brand of vacuum glass. Moreover, BENG glass lasts an average of 50 years, twice as long as traditional glass, and is produced using 30% less material compared to HR++ glass.
This means concretely:
- Only one production cycle every 50 years, with 50% less raw materials and transportation
- Structurally 50% less CO₂ emissions during production
- Up to 30% less glass volume and lighter weight, saving building materials and assembly time
- Suitable for any existing frame thanks to its revolutionary thickness of only 8.3 mm
BENG glass combines enormous energy savings with a drastic reduction in environmental impact - an innovation that is not only smarter, but also indispensable in the energy transition.

Is BENG glass produced sustainably and environmentally friendly?
Absolute. BENG glass is manufactured by LandVac, a world leader in vacuum glass and an absolute industry leader. LandVac combines advanced technology with a strong focus on sustainability, making BENG glass not only superior in terms of insulation, but also environmentally friendly.
Production takes place in a state-of-the-art factory that runs entirely on green electricity generated by a nearby reservoir and a large amount of solar panels. These renewable energy sources ensure an extremely low carbon footprint during the production process.
In addition, BENG glass carries the CIC Green Product Certification, an internationally recognized seal of approval that demonstrates that the product meets the highest standards of sustainability, environmental friendliness and socially responsible manufacturing. This certification confirms that BENG glass is a future-proof product that not only contributes to energy savings in buildings, but also to reducing the impact on our planet.
So with BENG glass, you are choosing groundbreaking insulating glass made in a responsible and sustainable way - insulating glass that makes a difference, from production to years of use.
