Webinar: Naue GlacierProtect

Advancing innovation in the International Year of Glaciers’ Preservation

As part of the UN Action Day launching the International Year of Glaciers’ Preservation 2025 (IYGP 2025), global efforts to combat the alarming retreat of glaciers take the spotlight. Naue GlacierProtect, developed in response to these pressing challenges, integrates eco-design as a cornerstone of Naue’s sustainability strategy and aligns closely with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. By supporting climate change adaptation measures, it plays a vital role in protecting fragile alpine ecosystems and contributing to international initiatives to preserve our planet’s frozen heritage for generations to come.

About the webinar:

This webinar underscores the critical importance of glaciers and introduces Naue GlacierProtect, a groundbreaking biodegradable nonwoven material crafted from Secutex® Green. Engineered with a focus on eco-design and sustainability principles, this microplastic-free material combats glacier melting, supports snow farming, and ensures zero environmental contamination. Field trials at Austria’s Stubai Glacier showcased its exceptional insulation performance, durability, and environmental friendly properties. You will explore Naue’s innovation  in technical management of glacier melt and snow farming and gain insights from the Austrian Alps study results.
