#WorktitudeForLife: Lamp is committed to sustainability and recycled aluminium
Sep 22 2020
Lamp is committed to working towards a more sustainable lighting industry and generating solutions with a positive impact on the environment.
Worktitude for Life is an umbrella for all the initiatives we are developing for this purpose.
Thanks to the commitment to responsible manufacturing and the work carried out by our "Sustainable Development" team, together with our collaborators, we can assure that, currently, more than 31% of the products manufactured by Lamp use recycled aluminium extrusion at a rate of 80-85%, reducing the carbon footprint of products and processes, as well as the environmental impact across the entire value chain.
Currently, Lamp indoor families, including Fil 35, Fil 45, Fil 50, Fil 70, Ocult, Lamptub, and Clinic, as well as the outdoor options, including Seti, Bazz, Lup, Iron, and B-Side, are already being made of this material. All these families amount to a total of 2,258 references that represent 48% of our catalogue.
The use of recycled aluminium extrusion at Lamp has following benefits:
- 70% reduction in direct carbon emissions during the manufacture, thanks to the manufacturing process, the optimisation of transport routes, and the collaboration with sustainable suppliers that produce a low carbon footprint.
- The use of only 5% of energy in comparison with the amount used in the original process.
- The company has been awarded the ASI Certification (Aluminium Stewardship Initiative), which is an independent certification whose regulations establish the environmental and social responsibility principles and criteria applicable to the aluminium value chain.
#WorktitudeForLife
Worktitude for Life is a project that enables an increase in the value of the products and the company by implementing environmentally friendly materials and processes, as well as instilling a Circular Economy mindset. Nothing is a waste until being treated as such.
For this purpose, we consider three lines of action:
- Materiality: reviewing all our current and future manufacturing processes and products, turning to a more sustainable model by replacing traditional materials with ecological, recycled, and non-toxic materials;
- Ecodesign: incorporating sustainable design criteria as the main philosophy for all new Lamp developments, conceiving luminaires as modular, separable, and recyclable components from a circular economy perspective. "Products made to be made again";
- "Living Centric Light": understanding the effect of lighting on the planet beyond energy savings, looking at the whole ecosystem and not just the impact on humans. In this way, we adopt new criteria such as the reduction in light pollution, the use of colour temperatures, and wavelength emissions that are more wildlife-friendly, among others.
Together, we continue working and carrying out actions to contribute to the creation of sustainable and high-quality lighting, taking care of the environment and users.
