In Germany alone, an estimated 100 to 115 million birds die each year from collisions with glass surfaces, especially on buildings with large glass facades.

About

We are only an industrial wholesaler. The laser technology has been invented by a startup.

Key Benefits

The startup has introduced a laser-based surface texturing technology aimed at reducing bird collisions with glass. Inspired by natural structures, the solution enables the creation of fine, barely visible patterns on glass surfaces that are detectable by birds but remain discreet to the human eye. This approach offers a scalable, contact-free, and chemical-free alternative to traditional bird protection methods and can be integrated into industrial glass processing workflows. The technology seeks to combine functionality with architectural aesthetics while contributing to bird conservation efforts.

Applications

Laser-textured, bird-friendly glass can be used in facades of offices, homes, public buildings, airports, zoos, greenhouses, and transport hubs. Ideal for sustainable architecture, it combines safety for birds with design and durability—suitable for both new builds and retrofits.
