International Year of Glass 2022

The International Year of Glass 2022, declared by the United Nations, celebrated glass's vital role in technology, art, science, and society, highlighting its importance for sustainable development and historical significance. The initiative aimed to raise global awareness of glass as a material, from its ancient uses to its modern applications like fiber optics, and its potential for a greener future due to its infinite recyclability, as it is a "permanent material".
