2. Circular design Many of the lighting solutions we delivered back in the 1970s are still working and we are very proud of this achievement. As part of our on-going mission to develop products with the lowest environmental impact, we decided to integrate circular economy concepts into the design of our luminaires. Circularity is the second objective of our project, represented by the pillar “Together for our Planet”.
The FLEXIA circular score is remarkable, not only due to its efficiency but also because of 8 circular attributes.
In the absence of independent standards, we carefully analysed the potential circularity of luminaires to introduce a “circular lighting” product label. This Circle Light Label assesses the luminaire circularity based on twelve objective criteria. It takes into account performance, maintenance, refurbishment, disassembly and recycling potential. Internally, we use this label to challenge the development teams to improve the luminaire’s design, as we want to incorporate circularity into our luminaire’s DNA, right from the onset. This label is meant to evolve through time to reflect new information about the circular economy.
1. High-quality mechanical structure to achieve IP 66 and IK 09 ratings.
2. Tool-free philosophy:
opening, cabling and LED engine removal.
3. Modular design for all functional parts.
12.5 - By 2030, substantially reduce waste generation through prevention, reduction, recycling and reuse 12.7 - Promote public procurement practices that are sustainable, in accordance with national policies and priorities
4. Less than 7 steps to
completely disassemble the luminaire.
5. Highly recyclable materials.
2022 target new developments must achieve 4 stars for Schréder’s Circle Light Label 2020 results new products scored 4 stars. We also analysed the high- runners in our portfolio and 24 of the 45 luminaires scored 4 stars.

Circle Light Label As a global lighting organisation, we are a member of various standard-setting bodies related to LED luminaires, light engines, modules and sensing/communication modules. There is currently no standard certification for circular economy compliance in the lighting industry. If the possibility arises to set an international standard for circular economy compliance, we will seek to be leading the effort.
6. Utmost connectivity with standard high-voltage (NEMA) and low-voltage (Zhaga) sockets
