Researchers have presented a new material called LionGlass that promises to halve the carbon footprint of the standard soda lime silicate glass. It is also at least 10 times as crack-resistant as regular glass. The new material could be revolutionary.

The new glass reduced the carbon footprint in two ways. Regular glass is made by melting three components: quartz sand, soda ash, and limestone. Soda ash is sodium carbonate, and limestone is calcium carbonate. When they melt, the carbonates break apart, releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. These components are eliminated in LionGlass.
