For instance, in January 2023, Saint-Gobain, North America, announced the launch of its new glass circular economy program at two different locations in California. In collaboration with Shark Solutions, a Danish-based recycler of polyvinyl butyral, the waste automotive windshield glass will be diverted from the landfill and recycled. The resulting product will be sent to CertainTeed Insulation’s facility as a recycled ingredient.
In recent years, the prevalence of the product is heavily increasing in laminated safety glass, and as an interlayer in sandwich laminated glass due to the high safety and security it provides in automobile windshields. Thus the growing production capacity and volumes of automobiles worldwide fuel the need and adoption of PVBs. For instance, the total production of motor vehicles stood at 79.1 million units, with an increase of 1.3% from the previous year.
The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the growth of the Polyvinyl Butyral market. During the pandemic, the automotive manufacturing facilities were highly halted during the imposed lockdown and many other stringent regulations on trade activities by many countries, which has directly affected the demand for polyvinyl butyral. For instance, according to our findings, global passenger car production declined by over 16% in 2020 compared to the previous year.
