At the heart of the global transformation of communications, technology, medicine, transport and global sustainability is the sandy substance of glass.

​

We can’t live the way we do without it – from fibre-optics, the internet and mobile phones, to its indispensable role in improving our quality of life and helping us live more sustainably in the future.
