Recolight has worked with the lighting industry for several years to drive the adoption of circular economy principles.
As a result the company has launched key initiatives to provide information, practical guidance, and services to help companies transition to a circular economy.
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.
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.
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 have committed to be net zero carbon by 2030. We aim to reach this ambitious goal by addressing logistics, recycling, and other operational activities, without using carbon offsets.
This commitment covers scopes 1,2 and 3.

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.
The adoption of the Circular Economy for truly sustainable lighting has seen the introduction of so many metrics, regulations, standards, and assessment methods.
