    Circular economy

    Earth is circular.

    Lighting should be circular, too.

     

    In 2022, we used 1.7 times the resources our planet can sustain. To transition to a sustainable and circular economy, we need to rethink the way we produce and consume. There’s no plan B for our home planet.

     

    At Signify, we’re on a mission to make people’s lives brighter and to create a better world with environmentally friendly light. For this reason, we’re driving the development of eco-friendly products that can be reprinted, refurbished, reused, and recycled.

    We need to transform our system

     

    The current linear method of production is exhausting the planet’s resources and producing ever more waste. Lighting for circularity is ringing in a new era and enabling the shift from a linear to a circular economy.
