SUSTAINABILITY
We live in a world where sustainability creates added value
and drives economic growth. It affects everything we do. That’s
why we at Deltalight are looking for ways to make sustainability
an everyday habit and lifestyle choice. Sustainability is not a
destination, but rather a path. Each individual effort and every
small initiative made over time will make the future a brighter
place.
At Deltalight, we recognise that our business activities have
an impact on the environment, and we take this responsibility
seriously. We place great importance on ecological awareness
and sustainability. Our goal is to produce light fittings that are
innovative, efficient and above all, environmentally friendly. We
constantly strive to improve our products and operations in terms
of efficiency, longevity and sustainability.
With each new collection, we use the latest technological
developments whenever possible, improve recycling, encourage
reuse, and pay close attention to efficient use of materials,
low-waste production and low-carbon transport.
Our commitment has been recognised by the ‘Lighting For Good
Awards’ in 2019 and 2020. Beyond production processes, our
Belgian headquarters is equipped with solar panels that produce
enough renewable energy to power our entire production line and
office. We are also quite proud to offer our employees a healthy,
safe and harmonious environment, whether abroad or in Belgium.
We also pay a lot of attention to recycling and waste
management. Many of our luminaires are made of aluminium
profiles and we optimize manufacturing to minimise waste.
Aluminium waste is collected and recycled or upcycled.
In fall 2022, we partnered with Dutch company MVRDV to
launch High Profile, a collection of colourful light fixtures made
from scraps of aluminium profiles. This sustainable design was
awarded the dezeen award for best in lighting of 2022,
an honourable mention we hold dear.
RESPONSIBLE LIGHTING
In the pursuit of sustainability, it's essential to recognize that
the responsible use of products plays a pivotal role. Beyond
the manufacturing process, the impact of how our creations
interact with the environment is equally significant.
This principle is especially true in the realm of lighting, where
our choices can either contribute to or mitigate issues such as
light pollution.
At the forefront of responsible lighting practices there are a
few basic principles, a set of guidelines designed to minimise
light pollution and preserve the beauty of our night skies. In
brief, one must look for light only where it is needed, look how
much light is needed, employ warmer colour temperatures and
apply dimming and/or presence detection to have the light
only when it is needed.
Our commitment to sustainability extends to providing
consumers with multiple options to adhere to these principles.
By incorporating these guidelines into our designs, we
empower individuals and communities to make informed
choices that align with a dark sky future.
One notable solution in our lineup is the integration of
dedicated LED which lack blue light. This innovation not only
contributes to the overall reduction of light pollution but also
serves as a crucial element in wildlife preservation.
