Our Circular mission

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.
