Industry experts in sustainability and product design are set to gather to discuss how the lighting sector can address its environmental impact. The second Circular Economy webinar organised by Recolight will take place on July 14 at 11:00 to 12:30.
Speakers will challenge the industry to set ambitious goals and explore how innovative product design can have a positive impact on sustainability.
Chaired by Lux Review online editor Ray Molony, the event will also hear from environmental campaigner and lighting designer John Bullock who will challenge the industry to commit to dramatically reducing its environmental impact.
Richard Garrett of Signify will outline the market-leading steps the company is making to become carbon neutral, while luminaire designer Simon Fisher will outline the steps needed to create products for a circular economy.
Russell Parr of Prime Light and a Torsten Werner of extrusion specialist Elkamet will discuss the use of sustainable raw materials based on renewable resources.
“It’s vital that the industry has this conversation now if it’s to address its responsibility to the wider world,” says chairman Ray Molony. “For too long the sector has been a rule-taker. These webinars can help us come up with a strategy that’s built from the bottom up.”
Recolight CEO Nigel Harvey adds, “I’m encouraged to see the lighting industry taking steps to become more sustainable. Sharing their initiatives with manufacturers and end users shows their commitment to protecting our resources and creating a greener planet.”
