SCHOTT CERAN^® - Among the top 3 products in the German Sustainability Award 2011

SCHOTT has been nominated for the German Sustainability Award 2011 for its environmentally friendly CERAN^® cooktop panel. Together with two other companies, SCHOTT is one of the top three in the category “Germany's most sustainable products and services”.

With its nomination, the jury paid tribute to SCHOTT’s outstanding technological expertise and its acceptance of responsibility for society and the environment. Following the development of a new environmentally friendly melting technology, the company became the world's first and only manufacturer of glass-ceramic cooktop panels to produce these products without using the toxic heavy metals arsenic and antimony and is setting new global standards once again.

Recognized for Environmental Friendliness!
SCHOTT AG® was granted the 2010 German Innovation Award in the large enterprises category for CERAN Suprema® and CERAN Hightrans® eco glass-ceramic cooktop panels for environmentally friendly manufacturing techniques.

When developing its glass innovations, SCHOTT is closely guided by the needs of its customers, for whom sustainability plays an important role. This developmental work has resulted in a glass-ceramic cooktop panel that does not contain the heavy metals arsenic and antimony, and earning the prestigious German Innovation Award in 2010. The Mainz-based company became the first manufacturer in the world to produce this product with the help of SCHOTT`s patented melting technology. SCHOTT now saves more than 180 tons of these heavy metals each year and thus makes an important contribution to our environment.
