The use of LED bulbs allows up to 90% energy savings compared to classic bulbs. However, energy saving is just one of the things by which we can try to reduce our environmental impact. Discover LED bulbs made of recycled plastic that will perfectly illuminate your home and allow you to take a simple step towards sustainability.
LED bulbs made of recycled plastic: Yesterday's plastic for tomorrow's light
Every year 400 million tons of plastic are produced in the world. But only 9% of that is recycled, the rest goes to the disposal sites, incinerators, or illegal landfills in nature. In addition, a significant amount of CO2 is released during the production and disposal of new plastic.
That's why the LEDVANCE company created an innovative range of LED bulbs within the NATURELOOP approach to increase the sustainability of the lighting industry. The entire range is made from at least 40% recycled plastic (RP), a percentage that should only grow in the future.
In 2022 around 40 million bulbs were sold only in Europe. Assuming that less than 14 grams of plastic is used for one bulb, it is possible to save up to 221 tons of new plastic with a 40% share of RP. To give you an idea, that's about 44 adult elephants.
What are recycled plastics (RP)?
Recycled plastics include used and recycled plastic waste produced by consumers. This includes for example old electronic devices, appliances, toys, or PET bottles.
This waste goes through a patented recycling process, thanks to which the obtained material can be used in LED technologies. This is a completely innovative approach that faces a challenge, especially in the field of optical parts.
Advantages of recycled plastic in LED bulbs
• Building a circular economy
• Lower consumption of fossil fuel
• Lower consumption of water and energy
• Less waste
• Reduction of CO2 emissions
Why should you choose LED bulbs LEDVANCE made of recycled plastic
Ecological LED bulbs from the LEDVANCE company are made of at least 40% recycled plastic. Thanks to the innovative recycling technology, this recycled plastic meets all the requirements for high-quality LED bulbs, such as damage resistance, heat resistance, and homogeneity.
The packaging of bulbs is also 100% recyclable, without plastic, and contains at least 80% recycled paper. This means that significantly less water and energy consumption is needed for the whole production, and fewer greenhouse gases are produced. This allows us all to take a simple step towards sustainability.
You can choose from many types of bulbs. The range mostly includes bulbs with the E27 and E14 caps, with a different luminous flux (up to 1521 lumens) and light color (warm white or daylight white). You will find exactly what you need.
