Recolight has raised its promotion of Circular Economy practice in the lighting industry to new heights by introducing a one-day workshop around the country. “Lighting product design for a Circular Economy” is travelling the country now. Venues for workshops are planned for the autumn in London, Birmingham and Leeds.
After two years of committed attention to the importance of the Circular Economy via an on-going series of webinars – and that series still continues, by the way – Recolight decided that it was time to take the message out into the regions and talk to the people who are actually responsible for product design and development. The workshops are headed by Simon Fisher of F Mark, so we’re assured of a level of understanding of the principles and the process.
Simon curates the discussion by engaging with the delegates, who are invited to turn up with examples of fixtures that might benefit from a Circular critique. The day covers the regulations and standards that are required of all manufacturers, and matches those objectives with the newer, less familiar criteria that needs to go into a circular product. And its the kind of day that forces other questions to be asked; is this fixture really necessary? is this a fixture that is designed for longevity and for re-use? can a third-party apply remanufacturing processes to the fixture?
The morning takes a broad view of where we get our Circularity from, and demonstrates that there is no one-size-fits-all in how this work is done. The afternoon concentrates on TM66, the new Technical Memorandum from SLL: “TM66 – Creating a circular economy in the lighting industry“. And if anyone wants to get to grips with the Circular Economy Assessment method (CEAM) that accompanies TM66, then this is the place to do it.

And, if that’s not enough, Recolight has also announced the first post-pandemic one-day conference, taking place in London on 22nd September.

I’m sure that there’s a lot of familiar faces in that line-up – and all raring to go to bring the message of Circularity to the audience at the Cavendish Centre.
There’s still a week to go before the Early Bird tickets disappear. And don’t forget – please don’t forget – that SPECIFIERS get free entry. After all, the success of Circularity will come down to luminaire specification, so we really need to know what’s going on.
