KCC Glass to Launch Eco-Friendly Bird Collision Prevention Glass, Contributes to Conservation of Biodiversity
Jun 09, 2025
KCC Glass is planning to launch a new eco-friendly glass product with bird collision prevention function this year. It is characterized by applying its own 'Sand Blasting' technology to engrave special patterns on glass surfaces so that birds can recognize and avoid glass.
This technology development is a response to the emergence of bird collisions as a social problem. According to the National Institute of Ecology, about 8 million wild birds are estimated to die annually in Korea alone by hitting building glass or soundproof walls. Reflecting this, the government mandated measures to reduce wildlife damage to public institutions in 2022.
Previously, the method of attaching bird collision prevention stickers or films to glass was mainly used, but over time, it has been pointed out about its effectiveness due to durability issues such as discoloration or falling. KCC Glass's new product made up for these shortcomings by implementing a semi-permanent pattern on the glass itself.
Through the launch of this product, the company plans to actively respond to the demand of public institutions and eco-friendly architecture, while also contributing to the conservation of biodiversity.
Meanwhile, KCC Glass is not only developing technology, but is also conducting social contribution activities to protect birds. It runs a biodiversity conservation campaign named '鳥 KCC Glass' and continues to attach bird collision prevention stickers to buildings that are highly likely to collide with birds in collaboration with the National Institute of Ecology, YouTubers 'Saedeokhu', and the Impact Business Foundation (IBA).
