Our partners

European Recycling Platform - ERP

Our partnership with ERP offers organisations seeking to collect waste batteries, the opportunity to collect both waste batteries and waste lamps. This means that we will collect your waste batteries at the same time as the waste lamps, using the same transporter. This helps to reduce CO2 emissions; it also cuts down the number of vehicles entering site as well as associated paperwork.

Lighting Industry Association LIA

LIA is the trade association for the lighting industry. LIA's primary purpose is to promote and develop the UK lighting market for the long term benefit of its members and all other stakeholders.

As an associate member, Recolight works closely with LIA, helping to ensure that all key organisations working in the industry receive consistent advice and guidance on WEEE.

Lumicom

Lumicom Ltd is a not for profit producer compliance scheme specialising in the recycling of business luminaires. Like Recolight, Lumicom was set up by the lighting industry it serves, to meet the industry's WEEE responsibilities in full. Lumicom finances the recycling of waste luminaires and requires its recyclers to use the best available treatment practices, advising them on the recyclability of new materials being used in the manufacture of luminaires.

Recolight works with Lumicom, to give our members a complementary recycling service for luminaires.

Electrical Contractors Association - ECA

The ECA works with regulatory bodies, government and opinion formers to build an efficient and sustainable industry, based on high standards of training and practice.

Recolight contributes to weee connect  - as a partnership of the UK's largest WEEE producer compliance schemes, their aim is to increase public awareness of the need to recycle all WEEE.

Community bulb recycling alliance - CoBRA

Founded by Mark David Hatwood in 2007, CoBRA was initially established to provide community recycling for waste batteries.  The scheme works by recruiting volunteers to place collection containers in community locations and then take responsibility for collecting the waste and taking it to a central collection facility.

Through the partnership with Recolight, the CoBRA scheme has been extended to provide community collection of low-energy light-bulbs, using Recolight's Bulbstore Mini and network of collection points.

Retail Stores

Recolight are in partnership with Sainsbury's and Robert Dyas and Homebase. We 240 Bulbstore Maxi units located at Sainsbury's across the UK, a take back facility with Robert Dyas at their 100 high street stores and Bulbstore Minis in all Homebase stores. Building on this success, we are now talking to other UK retailers.  

Local Authorities

Building on the success of the Sainsbury's partnership, Recolight designed a complete CFL recycling solution for local authorities. We now have our Bulbstore^TM solution installed at a number of bring sites across the UK and are in discussions to add more to our network - helping to make it easy for consumers to recycle..
