One Click LCA, a provider of life-cycle assessment (LCA) and environmental product declaration (EPD) software, has announced a strategic reseller partnership with Recolight, the operator of one of the UK’s largest Reuse and Recycling Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) compliance schemes.
The strategic partnership between One Click LCA and Recolight will offer expertise, guidance, and LCA and EPD technology to the lighting industry. By generating LCAs and EPDs, lighting manufacturers can better understand the carbon impact of their products and satisfy increasing specifier and client requirements for achieving green certifications like BREEAM, LEED, net zero, and more.
Recolight is known for its commitment to reuse, the circular economy, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. By partnering with One Click LCA, Recolight can offer its members and other industry stakeholders access to software – already used by several lighting manufacturers – that simplifies the process of creating accurate and credible LCAs and EPDs for their products.
Key benefits of the partnership:
• Simple EPD generation: One Click LCA’s intuitive EPD software automates the process, helping lighting manufacturers to save time and resources.
• Market differentiation and benchmarking: EPDs will help lighting manufacturers stand out in a competitive market by showcasing their products’ environmental performance.
• Meeting customer demand: With EPDs, lighting manufacturers demonstrate their commitment to reducing carbon, meet green procurement standards, and attract sustainability-focused customers.
• Expert guidance: Recolight and One Click LCA’s understanding of the lighting industry will provide support and guidance to companies helping them cut through the complexity of environmental metrics.
Panu Pasanen, Founder and CEO at One Click LCA, comments, “This collaboration with Recolight highlights One Click LCA’s commitment to decarbonising the lighting industry. Recolight’s extensive network of luminaire manufacturers will benefit from combined access to world-leading LCA and EPD software, and support and consulting, to enable them on their decarbonisation journey.”
Nigel Harvey, CEO at Recolight, adds, “An increasing number of specifiers and end-users are now demanding credible environmental metrics as part of their lighting procurement and specification. Those companies that move early will gain a competitive advantage. We are delighted that through this partnership with One Click LCA, Recolight can provide access to industry-leading LCA and EPD software that enhances embodied carbon transparency, and helps both specifiers and manufacturers move towards a low carbon future.”
Andreas Adam, Chair of the Recolight board and Global Sustainability Manager Lighting at LEDVANCE, notes, “The agreement with OneClick LCA is another great example of the Recolight team’s commitment to supporting and facilitating action on sustainability within the lighting industry.”
The partnership follows the recent launch of One Click LCA’s Luminaires EPD Generator tool, which streamlines the creation of EPDs for lighting products.
