Product Packaging In line with our wider environmental
Aligning with Our Sustainability Goals These packaging improvements directly support our carbon reduction targets and contribute to our wider goal of minimising environmental impact throughout the entire product lifecycle. By integrating sustainable packaging into the lifecycle of our luminaires - from manufacturing to installation and disposal - we are reinforcing our commitment to responsible production and resource efficiency. Going forward, we will continue to explore innovative packaging solutions, collaborate with suppliers on more environmentally friendly materials, and refine our processes to improve circularity and reduce our ecological footprint further. At Schréder, we believe that sustainability encompasses every element of design, materials and logistics, not just the product itself. By transforming our approach to packaging, we are taking yet another step towards a more sustainable and resource-efficient future.
Plastic Foil Removal Building on the optimisation process initiated in 2024, which involved removing plastic foil from product packaging, we continued to monitor this initiative in 2025. This ongoing project has delivered substantial material gains, significantly lowering PE waste and associated carbon emissions. In 2025, the project enabled a reduction of 13 tonnes of plastic waste and 25 tonnes of related CO₂ emissions for the packaging of over 400,000 luminaires. We will continue to scale up this approach across our portfolio to further reduce our use of single-use plastics and support our objectives for reducing our environmental impact. Reduction of Plastic Film Thickness As part of our ongoing efforts to reduce our use of materials and associated carbon emissions, we have launched a project to optimise the stretch film used for pallet wrapping. The project focuses on reducing film thickness while maintaining pallet stability and logistics performance. We expect to save about 6,200 kg of LDPE and reduce CO₂ emissions by 4,875 kg by 2026. By reducing the amount of plastic used per pallet, we are lowering both the demand for virgin material and the related CO₂ emissions. In the coming year, we will assess the feasibility of paper-based pallet wrapping solutions to enable further reductions in material use and to improve recyclability and reusability.
commitments, we evaluate every stage of the packaging lifecycle to identify areas where we can eliminate unnecessary materials, reduce weight and use more sustainable alternatives. Our approach to optimised packaging design focuses on reducing volume and weight to minimise material consumption, maximise transport efficiency and lower carbon emissions associated with shipping. By streamlining packaging dimensions, we ensure that resources are used efficiently while maintaining high standards of protection. We are also developing modular and adaptive designs that accommodate multiple product variations. This reduces the need for custom, single-use packaging, simplifying logistics and inventory management and enhancing sustainability further. Enhanced protection and circularity are key priorities in our packaging strategy. Our sustainable packaging solutions are designed to be durable and to protect the integrity of the product, ensuring that our luminaires are fully protected from damage during transit and preventing unnecessary waste due to breakage. We also promote reusability and recyclability by designing packaging that customers can reuse wherever possible. At the end of its life, the packaging can easily be recycled, thus reinforcing our commitment to a circular economy and reducing our environmental impact.
