You would have to make the glass, transport it and make it into window pane, so not much different.
Wood is compostable. But I wonder if making it transparent makes it something you wouldn’t want to grow food with.
Edit: they plan to add epoxy resin which would make the wood something you definitely don’t want to compost and would probably also leach EAs.
Isn’t it amazing what information you can glean from reading the article?
