Goodbye throwaway society

GLT has been setting standards since 2010 and produces sustainable, durable and reusable LED tubes for professional users in Europe. The GLT TUBES have been developed according to the Circular Lighting model, which follows the principles of the circular economy: from the design, through the use phase, to the repair of the GLT TUBES or recycling of the raw materials.

By 2050, new legal requirements will pave the way from the throwaway society to a circular economy and climate neutrality. Economy and industry are committed to sustainability, resources used should be kept in the cycle of the EU economy for as long as possible.

The UN writes in its 17 Sustainable Development Goals: "There is only one planet, but by 2050 global consumption will reach levels as if we had three of them."

EU-action plan against current consumption

The circular economy action plan adopted by the EU at the beginning of February 2021 is intended to stop this trend. The plan includes 35 measures for a sustainable product policy and production as well as for the reduction of waste. The European Union wants to take on a global leadership role.

Because many products are inefficient, break too quickly, are only intended for one-time use and cannot be repaired or recycled. Packaging is becoming more and more expensive, the amount of packaging waste per person in Europe is at a record level without it being recycled in an economically justifiable manner.

German LED Tech proves that economic success and environmental protection can go hand in hand.
