Some thoughts from our main supplier Steinel regarding sustainability.
– We all have a responsibility to protect our environment. Even during the development of our products, we pay attention to sustainable design. For example, luminaires with fully integrated LEDs have a significantly longer lifespan compared to luminaires with replaceable light sources. Fully integrated LED systems can be better connected to heat sinks. This means that they can be used even at low temperatures. This ensures a longer lifetime for the LEDs. This lifetime saves resources and avoids electrical waste, as no components need to be discarded. It is sustainability for us.
We have set a goal to deliver all our products in plastic-free packaging by 2022. Right now, all accessories are in bags made of 100% recycled paper, instead of the conventional plastic bags. We are currently replacing the styrofoam that was previously used to secure the goods with molded fiber parts. Our comprehensive user manuals have been replaced by small clear quick starts, which only require 12.5% of the previously used amount of paper. Solutions that drastically reduce CO2 are our Lighting Intelligence solutions where over 90% of the energy used for lighting is already saved in parking garages worldwide. Our production is constantly improved to create an even greener world.
