Reduced CO₂ emissions
CO₂ (Carbon Dioxide) and Windshield Repair
Repairing damaged windshields instead of replacing them is more than just saving costs; it is the most effective way to dramatically reduce the negative impact on the global environment.
Practicing carbon neutrality saves enormous energy and resources required for new glass production and fundamentally prevents the generation of difficult-to-treat waste.
Daonda Auto Glass Co., Ltd.’s “Repair First” principle is not an option — it is an essential responsibility for the future.

The most powerful practice for ESG management of our partner companies
01
Stop waste at the source
Current recycling systems do not effectively handle automotive glass with its complex structure. Repair is the only way to realize the top principles of the waste management hierarchy - ‘Reduce’ and ‘Reuse’ - and eliminate the generation of waste glass that would otherwise be landfilled or downstream recycled.
02
Build a virtuous cycle of resources
By avoiding unnecessary new glass production, we reduce our carbon footprint from raw material mining to manufacturing to transportation, which positively impacts our partners' entire supply chain and is the first step in creating a virtuous cycle of sustainable resources.
