To keep going, the take-make-waste economy will need to consume the resources of three planet earths by 2050. Not only that, but half of all greenhouse gas emissions and more than 90% of biodiversity loss come from making and using new materials. That’s why the switch to a circular use-reuse-regenerate economy is so important to protect the environment and ensure a sustainable future.

Clean mobility
Charge stations built into digital streetlights support the Green Deal’s goal of a million EV charging points in Europe by 2025. Savings from energy-efficiency renovations and LED and solar street lighting can power tens of thousands of EVs without extra power generation.
Biodiversity
A farm-to-fork approach helps to preserve the world’s food supply. LED grow lights boost crop quality and yield with up to half the energy consumption. Lighting designed for vertical farming near cities reduces the carbon and water use, and reduces food miles, while aquaculture lighting increases yield, improves feed conversion and improves animal welfare.
Renovation wave
With energy savings of up to 80% and the potential to save 100 megatons of GHG emissions per year, LED and connected lighting is a quick and easy win for sustainable renovation, smart cities, and building the digital infrastructure that a carbon-neutral economy requires.
