Guardian NEXA 6 lower carbon glass has an embodied carbon value of 6.38 kg CO2e/m2 for a 4 mm glass thickness. This represents a reduction of approximately 38%* when compared to the average European standard float glass, and more than 30% when compared to standard 4mm Guardian ExtraClear™ float glass. Guardian NEXA 6 can be laminated and/or used as a base glass for all Guardian Glass range of products – such as the Guardian SunGuard™, Guardian Bird1st™ Lami or Guardian ClimaGuard™ – to add features such as energy efficiency, bird deterrence, or sound reduction when laminated. Guardian NEXA 6 is visually equivalent to Guardian float ExtraClear, as the optical and technical properties of the two products, as well as aesthetics, are similar, and within the production tolerances for the products.
*The A1-A3 embodied carbon value for Guardian NEXA 6 was derived from the EPD and verified for conformance to ISO 14040/44, EN 15804, and the Product Category Rules (PCR) through a program operator and independent reviewer. As of May 2025, when comparing the cradle-to-gate (A1 - A3) embodied carbon value of Guardian Europe's NEXA 6 float glass vs. an average calculated from publicly available EPDs from the primary European flat glass manufacturers, the calculated reduction is approximately 38%. This comparison is not based on a third-party verified comparative life cycle assessment (LCA). This comparison is based on internal calculations using publicly available EPDs and acknowledges that not all EPDs use the same methodologies, assumptions, and data quality requirements.
