We provide simple tools which help develop the circular lighting sector. We want to support safe, high-quality lighting solutions which reuse first, remanufacture second and replace as a last resort.
We have also collected case studies in a concise format to help convey the amazing circular economy work our sector already does.
We provide unbiased guidance to support your circular journey (and get the most from our tools!).
Circular Lighting is mission-oriented: we want to see lighting equipment reused first, remanufactured second and replaced as a last resort. Find out more about the environmental and economic case for the circular economy in the lighting industry.
Lighting and Circularity
Reuse and circular economy has always been in the DNA of the lighting industry, but with 'reuse' and 'remanufacture' models becoming more professional and prominent in the industry, it's more important than ever that clients, stakeholders and remanufacturers can access simple, independent resources without the marketing.
