recyclable and reparable glass roof
The glass in your Scenic E-Tech 100% electric’s solarbay contains around 50% cullet, which is automotive glass recovered from the different stages of production at Saint-Gobain Sekurit’s plants.
On the road, solarbay glass has two micro-thin layers, providing excellent thermal protection. In this way, its CO₂ footprint is lower compared to conventional roofs.
At end of life, the glass is ground, filtered and recycled into new automotive glass. Both the PDLC and PVB* films can be reused for other purposes. This means that solarbay has a recyclability rate of more than 89%.
In the event of an accident, the glass can be replaced just as easily as a conventional glazed roof, since all of its component parts can be replaced individually.
