I maj sidste år erklærede FN 2022 som det internationale år for glas. Det er første gang, at FN har udpeget et år med et enkelt materiale, som fremhæver glassets uundværlige og vigtige rolle på mange områder som teknologi, økonomi, miljø, kultur og samfund, samt dets rolle i at møde de udfordringer og opbygning af et bæredygtigt samfund. Inklusivt samfund, der muliggør global økonomisk genopretning, fremmer udviklingen af nye teknologier og mange andre bidrag. Som et grundmateriale med en lang historie er glas officielt kommet ind i centrum af verdensscenen.
With the theme of "Celebrating the past, present and future of glass to create a sustainable, fair and better tomorrow!", the 2022 United Nations International Year of Glass will organize scientific and technological summits, seminars, industry exhibitions, glass art exhibitions, etc. Various activities covering the world in the exhibition focus on promoting the technological and cultural achievements formed by the material characteristics and ultimate functions of glass. Important international events that have been announced to the world include the 32nd China International Glass Industry Technology Exhibition hosted by the China Silicate Society, the "National Glass Day" event in the United States, the theme event "From Pharaoh to High-Tech Glass" in Egypt, The 26th International Glass Congress held in Berlin, Germany and the closing ceremony of the International Year of Glass in Japan, etc.
