ABOUT THE REUSE HUB

The Recolight Reuse Hub is a lighting digital marketplace. An online platform to facilitate the donation of new and used lighting products and equipment. It is the first of its kind for the donation, reuse, and remanufacture of lighting products.

A considerable volume of new and used lighting products that are needlessly recycled when they could be reused. The Recolight Reuse Hub allows donors of such products to link up with potential recipients; companies that could use the donated products.

For registered Donors, Recipients, and Remanufacturers

Who is the Reuse Hub for?

The Reuse Hub is open to any type of organisation, including manufacturers, remanufacturers, wholesalers, specifiers, end users, charities, and more. Lighting producers that are not yet Members of the Recolight compliance scheme may participate.

Companies can register as Donors, Recipients, and Remanufacturers.

Donors can offer both:

unused, unsold lighting stock,
and used but reusable lighting equipment that may be suitable for remanufacturing, including those from CAT A and fit outs.

The Reuse Hub is currently free of charge for Donors, Recipients, and Remanufacturers. It includes a template agreement between both parties, that clearly limits the liability of donors, to de-risk the process.

Working with FIS Project Reuse

For donors needing storage of products
If you don’t get an immediate request for donated products, and need to remove immediately from site, then we have solution. The Finishes and Interiors Sector (FIS) has set up a pilot storage facility in East London.

Please visit the FIS website for their process and contact details.

Reuse Hub Recipient

Recipient companies and organisations can apply to receive new and or used Products and Batches of Products.

A Reuse Hub Recipient could be :

Manufacturers
Charitable Organisations
Not for Profit Organisations
Educational facilities
And more!

A Donor makes their product available on the hub. Registered Recipients & Remanufacturers will then be notified that stock is available

Reuse Hub Remanufacturer

A lighting remanufacturer is a manufacturer who can upgrade and/or refurbish lighting equipment to provide a product which

meets today’s performance expectations,
and is backed with a new warranty.

Regulations require all components used in a remanufactured product to be compliant themselves.

Additionally, all reused and remanufactured units must be tested for electrical safety and WEEE compliance must be achieved during the remanufacture process.

Using the Reuse Hub

Prior to donation, the product should be in storage or at the Donor’s facilities.
The Donor approves a donation.
The availability period of the product is decided by the Donor.
Transport costs will be agreed between Donor and Recipient.
If you wish to be a Donor and a Recipient, you need to register in both categories.

Ideally, the fixtures will be picked up and stored elsewhere, leaving donor shelves vacant for more product; but that may not always be possible and the Donor company may prefer to agree a space rental arrangement with the recipient for a certain amount of time. The Reuse Hub has been designed to be intuitive for the end user. But, a handy user guide is available for you to download.
