In this latest Circular Lighting Report interview, editor Ray Molony talks to Ren De Cherney, Director of Built Environment at the Cradle to Cradle Products Innovation Institute, about why Cradle to Cradle certification is gaining traction across the built environment and what it means for the lighting sector.
They discuss:
- Why existing sustainability tools and metrics don’t always tell the whole story
- The growing demand for independently verified environmental data
- How circularity is becoming a key consideration for specifiers and building owners
- The role of digital product passports and building data systems
- Why lighting manufacturers are increasingly being asked tough questions about recyclability, material sourcing and end-of-life management
If you’re involved in lighting, sustainability, product development, specification or the built environment, this conversation offers valuable insight into where the market is heading.
Will third-party verified sustainability certifications become a standard requirement for lighting products over the next five years?
