Birds often do not perceive glass as an obstacle colliding with it at full speed. The solution to this is to make glass visible for birds. Jochen Grönegräs, Managing Director of ”Bundesverbandes Flachglas e.V.” (German Flat Glass Manufacturers’ Association), and Matthias Haller, Technical Service Marketing at Eastman Chemical Company and spokesperson of the working party in the association, introduce various options to achieve this in this session.
