Remanufacturing Lighting Products
Joining the Sustainability Revolution | A practical workshop showing how to implement a remanufacturing process
A new trend is emerging in the Lighting Industry
Businesses are increasingly asking for existing lighting products to be upgraded or remanufactured. This trend is driven in part by the need to reduce the embodied carbon footprint of a building. Keeping the original luminaire, rather than replacing it, typically results in an embodied carbon saving of at least 50%. And with an increasing number of building owners and users now looking for net zero buildings, that saving has big impact.
As more organisations seek to put in place tangible plans to address their contribution to the climate crisis, reducing embodied carbon will become an ever more important element in purchasing criteria.
Remanufacture is also a great example of how to put circular economy principles into practice. Reusing the housing keeps all those materials in use for a second life. It also avoids unnecessary recycling, which is itself an energy intensive process.
Remanufacturing Lighting Products is an in depth one day workshop.
Presented by lighting product designer Simon Fisher, who also sits on the BS8887:221 committee, the workshop will guide attendees through all aspects of setting up a remanufacturing service, including key design principles for the LED light source, compliance testing, and the use of BS8887:221.
The course may also be booked as an in-house, single company event

FEEDBACK FROM WORKSHOP ATTENDEES
Previous workshops looked at lighting product design for a circular economy. The lighting industry is now fully embracing this concept. Read what our past delegates had to say…..
“Both the presentation and associated discussion were engaging, informative and thought-provoking. The workshop provided a great snapshot of the general state of circularity in the lighting industry today, and the challenges and possible solutions for designing to improve that situation.”
Mustanir Ali, Certification Manager, BSI
“With Circular Economy being such a fundamental part of our future, it’s important our industry collaborates to make change happen. Thank you to Recolight & F Mark for a valuable workshop, bringing together like minded businesses and helping to navigate the way forward.”
Leighton James, Product & Marketing Director, TRILUX Lighting Ltd
