Extending the life of luminaires
The need to no longer see luminaires as a single life product has been widely discussed in the Recolight Webinar series. It is encouraging to see that progress is being made, and that lighting is becoming part of the circular economy.
This webinar introduces three initiatives intended to extend the life of luminaires
- Upgrading existing fittings. (The Regen Initiative)
- Avoiding the disposal of unsold stock (New Recolight service)
- Diverting waste fittings for remanufacture and resale (New Recolight service)
Introduced and chaired by Ray Molony, Build Back Better Awards,
We hear from:
Defra’s plans for encouraging and incentivising reuse for a Circular Economy.
Graeme Vickery, Senior Policy Officer, Producer Responsibility and Product Regulation at Defra
Compliance considerations for reuse of luminaires
Tom Ruddell, Circular Design Engineer at Egg Lighting
The Regen Initiative – A joint venture with Coco Lighting and F Mark
Simon Fisher, Director at F Mark
Glenn Hildyard and Tony Stones, Directors of Coco Lighting

- Used lighting – The reuse/remanufacture of used lighting
