Lighting & the Circular Economy Webinar _Third in the Recolight series_15 Sept_LISTEN TO REPLAYThe third Recolight webinar in our Lighting & the Circular Economy series, held on 15 September,2020,  looks at the next steps required for the lighting industry to move towards a Circular Economy. This will follow on from the conversation of our first two webinars.

In the first webinar Defra, Lighting Europe, and Recolight presented new regulations & standards for lighting. In the second we were joined by the lighting industry who challenged us to be more sustainable and presented solutions  to enable this. Links to the recordings for the first two webinars are at the bottom of the page.

Introducing and chairing the Webinar is Ray Molony.

Ray Molony Editor of Lux Review“It’s vital that the industry has a meaningful dialogue with its customers and other stakeholders about how we play our role in fixing our wounded planet. Inevitably, there will be extra costs associated with sustainable and circular economy measures, and we need to address these honestly and holistically.”
Ray Molony, online editor LuxReview
