♻️ REMANUFACTURING ♻️ How can the Lighting industry become more sustainable? One of the clearest improvements which manufacturers can make comes in the form of remanufacturing. Moving towards circular economy focussed products can make a huge difference, reducing our impact on the environment as an industry by creating less waste and lowering our carbon output. We are working on new and innovative ways to focus on circularity within our product portfolio, with our multi-award winning Firestay Geo LED Sustainable Modular Downlight providing a clear example of the TM66 rated products which can be introduced into the market with thorough planning and investment. We look forward to sharing our new ideas in the near future, and we are excited for Circular Lighting Live this October, where we are attending as Gold Sponsors.

☀️ What if we told you that the waste from discarded carpet tiles each year produces enough carbon emissions to drive to the Sun and back? 🚗💨 Discover how our London studio is partnering with Uplyfted to advance its sustainability goals and tackle the problem head-on! 🗑 Read here: https://hubs.la/Q02Z1nh80 #CarpetTileWaste #UKSustainability #WasteReduction #CircularEconomy #WasteManagement #ZeroWasteUK #CarbonFootprint

Well done to M Moser Associates for taking the initiative and making this video. Flooring creates a huge amount of volume when it comes out of a project being the largest m2. Flooring is an element of refurbishments which gets changed out more frequenctly and the impact of this over a lifetime of a building is huge. Milliken Floors Europe are very proud to partner with Uplyfted. Remember Milliken will always take responsbility to help put our products into reuse/recycle schemes when it has had its first life, and anywhere Milliken is going into a project we want to help with whatever exisiting product is coming out. #reuse #flooringinsocialhousing #circulareconomy

Thanks to Stephan Vetter & Kim Leng Koo at KfW IPEX-Bank, Cristina Aleixendri Muñoz at bound4blue and Alexandra Lutz at Euler Hermes for an interesting webinar about financing of shipping retrofits. Thanks also to Belinda Adye from our partner Marsoft Inc. explaining so clearly about the benefits of using #voluntarycarbonmarkets to shorten the payback period for shipowners installing innovative retrofits such as wind assist. ClimeCo was delighted to contribute and tell the audience about the importance of #carbonmarkets in our journey to a global low-carbon future. #climatecrisis #climateurgency #climateaction #climatefinance #carboncredits #GoldStandard #financeactionnow

Achieving net zero is, arguably, one of the most vital, but least understood policies for any company. Government and customer requirements are increasingly driving the need to eliminate embodied carbon. This one day conference will give us all the tools we need to start to decarbonise manufacture and distribution in the lighting industry.

Meeting the energy efficiency benchmarks set forth in Executive Order 14057 requires extensive planning and comparison. Along with my colleagues and fellow sustainable design leaders Ken Golovko, and Rajat Wadhwa, I recommend setting benchmarks that eliminate waste as part of your facility strategy. That means a unique, actionable plan for every portfolio of building stock within the entirety of the federal government’s holdings.

🌍 Lighting the Path to Sustainability The transition towards circular lighting is more than just a trend – it’s a crucial step in achieving sustainability goals. Circular lighting focuses on the entire life cycle of a product, from design to reuse, ensuring that resources are kept in use for as long as possible. At Tamlite, we are committed to creating solutions that align with the principles of the circular economy. 💡 Learn more about how circular lighting can benefit your organisation and the planet: 🔗 Explore the article: https://lnkd.in/eAWxRFYG #Sustainability #CircularEconomy #GreenTechnology #Tamlite #EnergyEfficiency

We will be hosting a panel discussion at the upcoming FOOTPRINT+ event. Join us on 𝗠𝗮𝘆 𝟴, 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰 , for an insightful panel discussion on "𝗧𝗼𝗼𝗹𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗦𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗺𝗲 𝗮𝗰𝗿𝗼𝘀𝘀 𝗮 𝗣𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗳𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗼," Chaired by our Co-Founder and CEO, Ranjeet Bhalerao.

The panel will delve into addressing how decarbonisation across a large portfolio can be managed over time with optimised sequencing.   Attendees will hear about the core problems landlords and other stakeholders face on the path to managing Net Zero. The panel will address the roles of technology, digitalisation and artificial intelligence to accelerate solutions to the discussed problems. Alongside the technical and technological aspects of implementing net-zero retrofits, the positive impacts on business and the community will be discussed through the transition of less-efficient assets into value creating assets.   Don't miss this opportunity to learn, network, and be part of the conversation shaping the future of sustainable real estate.   Register now for FOOTPRINT+ and join us on May 8, 2024, from 13:45 to 14:30 - https://bit.ly/3woDEBq   #FOOTPRINT+ #NetZeroRetrofits #SustainableRealEstate #MapMortar #netzero #retrofit #zerocarbon #decarbonisation #carbonfootprint #sustainablefuture #UKGBC

💡Understanding Circular Lighting and Its Role in Sustainability The term ‘circular lighting’ refers to a sustainable approach to designing, producing, and managing lighting systems. By minimising waste, extending product lifecycles, and creating closed-loop systems, circular lighting contributes significantly to a more sustainable future. Key benefits include reduced resource consumption, minimised waste, increased energy efficiency, extended product lifespan, fostered innovation, and lower environmental impact. Did you know, our CIRCA and REVO luminaires are designed following this sustainable approach, prioritising durability, ease of maintenance, and maximum resource efficiency? 📝 For more information on this topic, check out our latest article here 👇: https://lnkd.in/ess3KJkm #Tamlite #Lighting #Sustainability #CircularLighting #CIRCA #REVO #EnergyEfficiency
