RECOLIGHT REUSE HUB
Avoiding unnecessary recycling for lighting
The need to no longer see luminaires as a single life product has been widely discussed in the Recolight Webinar series. At Recolight, we recycle, but as we move towards a Circular Economy model, recycling is not always the best solution.
Recolight is under a legal obligation to prioritise reuse over recycling, so we need to facilitate and encourage reuse.
LCA & EPDs
Empowering lighting manufacturers to assess environmental impact
Recolight is excited to introduce our new Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) services, specifically designed for lighting manufacturers.
These services will help you quantify and reduce the environmental impact of your products, from material extraction through to end-of-life.
With Recolight’s expertise, you’ll gain a comprehensive understanding of your product’s environmental footprint and how to mitigate it.
CARBON EMISSIONS ASSESSMENT & REDUCTION SERVICE
Helping organisations on their journey to Net Zero in a measurable, meaningful, and potentially self-funding way.
The service is delivered in partnership with Auditel, a leading carbon solutions company.
RECOLIGHT’S NET ZERO CARBON COMMITMENT
Back in 2021, Recolight set a target to be net zero by 2030. And we also said that we would not use carbon offsets. To keep our focus on this most essential of targets, we also agreed annual carbon reduction targets.
This commitment covers scopes 1,2 and 3.

CIRCULAR ECONOMY WEBINARS
Recolight regularly runs circular economy webinars to bring together experts from across the lighting industry. Free to all, they cover legislation for the circular economy, product design, and support the industry to be more sustainable.
They have brought tangible leadership to this vital topic and as a result, helped build consensus on the need to act right through the supply chain.
