SCHOTT CERAN® cooktop panels mainly consist of raw materials (quartz sand, for example) that occur naturally in nearly inexhaustible quantities. As essentially natural products, they do not release any substances that pollute the air, water or soil when they are disposed of.

SCHOTT has been a leader in the international glass industry in the area of environmental and climate protection for many

At SCHOTT we continually strive to strengthen our ecological commitment by expanding our offerings of environmentally-friendly glass and glass products.

With its Home Tech division that offers products like CERAN Suprema® and CERAN Hightrans® eco, SCHOTT is considered to be the pioneer in the area of green glass-ceramics that contain no arsenic or antimony additives. SCHOTT has thus set a new milestone on the road to environmental friendliness.

Sustainability: good for us and good for the environment.
Where does the energy of tomorrow actually come from? The answer: from regenerative energies and renewable raw materials such as wood. More and more people are being inspired by the multitude of benefits that this natural resource has as a source of heat. That's why the demand for fireplaces - and for wood - is continuously growing.
It is imperative that this natural source of energy is managed sustainably in order to ensure a permanent and plentiful supply. The term sustainability is a current buzzword.
The core of the idea is the obligation to plant just as many trees as are chopped down, allowing the forest to supply us with wood in the long-term. That's the way things should stay, and that's why Duke Friedrich of Württemberg supports the initiative "Natural power? Yes please".

SCHOTT CERAN ® cooktop panels mainly consist of raw materials (quartz sand, for example) that occur naturally in nearly inexhaustible quantities. As essentially natural products, they do not release any substances that pollute the air, water or soil when they are disposed of. Thanks to the unique material composition of the eco-friendly CERAN Suprema ® and CERAN Hightrans ® eco glass-ceramic, these products meet all eco-standards set by the European Union today. More

With the development of PURAVIS ® high-purity glass optical fibers, SCHOTT is now launching a "green" product to market that is manufactured in an environmentally friendly manner and, at the same time, transmits even whiter light than conventional glass optical fibers. These new high-tech fibers are produced without using the heavy metal lead. However, not just the glass itself, but also the entire proprietary manufacturing process, in which neither arsenic nor antimony are used, is environmentally friendly.
In other words, any product that is equipped with PURAVIS ® already complies with the EU directives RoHS and REACH today and is ready for future environmental requirements - worldwide. More

A superlative in two different respects has been developed specifically for the US market: PYRAN ® Platinum fire-rated glass-ceramic is the world's first transparent floated glass-ceramic that addresses the fire protection market to be manufactured without using metals arsenic and antimony. More

ROBAX ® Energy Plus reflects up to 35% of the heat radiation back into the firebox. This does not only reduce heating costs, but also conserves the environment. Because the increased temperature in the firebox normally leads to better combustion and therefore lower emission values. More

SCHOTT began updating its optical glasses product range more than ten years ago. Today over 80% of the optical glass products SCHOTT offers are free of both lead and arsenic.

Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFC) are considered among the most promising methods for the efficient and environmentally-friendly production of energy. They convert chemical energy, generated from a combination of fuel (e.g. H2, natural gas) and oxidant (e.g. air) gases across an oxygen ion conducting ceramic, into electrical energy and heat. Due to harsh conditions that the SOFC operate in, such as high operating temperatures and aggressive environments within the cells all the materials used for this application must be carefully selected to ensure a safe, reliable and continuous operation of the SOFC. With a wide portfolio of glass and glass-ceramics with unique properties, SCHOTT Electronic Packaging has the ideal products for this demanding application. More

In the Electronics & Biotech fields, a variety of SCHOTT thin glasses that are named "Eco Glass" are either under development or already on the market. These "Eco-Glasses" use either very small amounts of refining agents such as arsenic or antimony or are completely free of them. For example:

AF32® eco, is an alkali-free thin glass for wafers,

D263® T eco is a scratch-resistant filter glass that contains no toxic substances and is used for camera lenses in cell phones or touch sensitive monitors

More
Other examples of green solutions from SCHOTT include sun protection and insulated glasses; LEDs, which are more efficient than energy-intensive halogen light sources, for use in fiber optic lighting solutions; sealant materials that contain glass for high-temperature fuel cells; and energy-saving flat glass solutions for ovens.

To promote a sociable environment rather than a private one.

In a private environment more individual's rely on private transport
instead of taking alternatives such as walking or car share.

Additionally, the aim is to create an environment where a community
can form and the individuals in it can help eachother live sustainably.

Living more sustainably, at home, at work and when you travel, has all sorts of benefits. The payback for our environment and the planet is obvious, but there are also lots of benefits to be gained personally from a more sustainable approach to everyday living.

Save money - reduce your energy consumption, generate your own power, cut back on water use, grow your own food, reuse, buy recycled and second-hand goods, or buy in bulk. It'll save you money - and help the environment.

Be healthier - be more sustainable by walking and cycling instead of using the car sometimes, buy and prepare good quality locally-produced food, and eat less meat. All of these actions are great for your wellbeing.

Detox - cut out toxic chemicals by switching from supermarket household and cleaning products to more natural, cheaper alternatives. It'll be good for your health, the health of your home, and your pocket.

Reconnect with your community - sustainable living relies on people working together. Whether you're buying locally-produced goods or getting involved in a community project, you'll make connections with new people.

Grow your knowledge and skills - as your lifestyle becomes more sustainable and you do things differently, you'll develop new knowledge and skills. Sharing that experience is a great way to inspire others to do the same.

Improve your quality of life - every effort you make to live more sustainably adds up, and you'll soon notice the difference to your life. Whether you have more money, feel healthier, feel more productive or more in touch with where you live, your quality of life will have improved in some way, and so will your contribution to our planet's future.

The house may be built out of recycled materials.
A sustainable house may have double or even triple glazed windows for extra insulation.
Additonally, the house may have a grass roof as another alternative to sustain heat.
Solar panels may be an alternative where a house can become self efficient.

Ecovillages offer small-scale communities with minimal ecological impact or regenerative impacts as an alternative. However, such communities often cooperate with peer villages in networks of their own ( see Global Ecovillage Network for an example). This model of collective action is similar to that of Ten Thousand Villages, which supports the fair trade of goods worldwide.
