The proportion of circular lighting has grown to 37 per cent of Signify sales, the company has reported.
Signify defines this product segment where there is a comprehensive approach to designing, producing, using, and recovering lighting products in a way that maximises resource efficiency and minimises waste — aligning with circular economy principles.
It says the growth was was primarily driven by serviceable luminaires in the professional segment, which allow components to be upgraded, reused, or recycled — significantly extending product lifecycles.
‘Circularity is not an add-on to our business — it is our business,’ said Željko Kosanović, Signify’s CFO and interim CEO. ‘By embedding circular design in everything we do, we deliver long-term value for customers and the planet.’
Signify also advanced its broader sustainability agenda under the Brighter Lives, Better World 2025 program.
The company remains ahead of schedule in reducing value-chain greenhouse gas emissions by 40 per cent versus 2019 — double the pace required by the Paris Agreement.
‘Brighter lives’ revenues, which include lighting that supports health and well-being, held steady at 33 per cent, also ahead of target.
Signify was recently ranked sixth in Corporate Knights’ Europe 50 for most sustainable companies and retained a spot on the CDP Supplier Engagement A-List.
Recently the company launched Signify has introduced a 3D-printed linear luminaire for the workplace made from 75 per cent recycled PET.
The latter material comprises post-consumer water bottles, carpets, polyester clothing and spectacles.
This Puzzle, pictured, is aimed at task lighting at desks, meeting rooms and other office environments. It’s available in a 4- and 5-feet linear pendant size and designed to give a soft seamless glow that helps to improve focus while working.
Created by French industrial designer Florent Coirier and brought to life through Signify’s 3D-printing technology, the Puzzle features printed parts that are made from 75 per cent recycled PET.
The use of 3D printing also helps minimise waste, resulting in a more efficient production process.
