Our Sustainability Pathway

There are many opinions and approaches to sustainability in the lighting industry.  LPA believes that for lighting to be sustainable – the entire life cycle of a product must be considered from product concept through production, project design operation and end-of-life.

The linear economy is a thing of the past, we are reimagining the life cycle of our products, the impact of our operations and how we can assist clients to reduce carbon and energy consumption.

Product

Over the past few years, we have been collaborating with our suppliers to incorporate every aspect of circular economy into our product designs.  We have improved product functionality and reduced product environmental footprint by minimizing waste and extending the product lifespan through repair & reuse initiatives.

Material

Up to 90% of recyclable materials

We prioritise materials from renewable sources with a high recyclability rate to ensure that nothing goes to waste at the end of a product’s life.​

​90% is the highest rating for recyclable materials in some of the main downlights and track lights, with the remainder made up of electronic components that can be recycled through the e-waste scheme.

Packaging

90% reduction of carbon in packaging

100% of the core LPA product range comes in plastic-free packaging. ​

​We have reduced the packaging carbon footprint by 90% by switching to paper packaging. What’s more, all packaging is made of recycled paper and cardboard.

Product Design

On target to improve product circularity for core range by 2025

Standard LPA downlights and track lights are now designed to allow for easy upgrades or modifications. For instance, products are serviceable so it can be easily disassembled, have internal components replaced, changed accessories and eventually parts recycled.​

​We use CIBSE TM66: Circular Economy Assessment Methods to evaluate our product design and identify areas of improvement.

Energy Efficiency

Up to 50% LED efficacy increase

Today, we continue to focus on improved product design, with a particular emphasis on optimizing energy consumption and LED technology. ​

​Reduction of energy consumption by reducing power (W) and improving LED efficacy (lm/W) contributes to reducing the carbon footprint of the product during the service phase.

With over 30 years of experience in supplying luminaires, we firmly believe that timeless product designs and service models are key to long-term sustainability, both for our business and our products.

Even the best-designed luminaire will eventually need to be restored, serviced and recycled.

To fulfill this purpose, we have created the unique LPA ReLight program. Our service team will renovate your old LPA luminaires and give them a second life.

Service

We provide a range of services aimed at helping you minimize your environmental impact. Our expert lighting design team collaborates closely with your own, ensuring optimal performance while conserving energy. We then offer supplementary services to further lower consumption, providing valuable emissions data insights and opportunities for reusing and recycling your fixtures.

Lighting Design

Natural Light

Natural light regulates our circadian rhythms, boosts mood, and enhances overall well-being. Our designers take into account natural elements to deliver more efficient illumination, which not only reduces energy consumption but also supports people’s physical and psychological well-being within a space.

Visual Lighting Comfort

The design itself is meant to evoke feelings, interests, and emotions. Lighting is fundamental to showing or enhancing the experience. Our design team applies technical standards and client specifications regarding illumination levels and energy density and always seeks new ways to be more efficient and to ensure visual efficiency in delivering the client’s ultimate objectives for the space.

Smart Lighting Controls

Smart lighting systems are a powerful tool for reducing energy demand and minimizing the environmental impact of buildings compared to traditional static systems.

At LPA, we collaborate with integration partners to carefully select the most suitable lighting control and management technology for each project, considering the budget and specific requirements. This allows us to seamlessly deliver outstanding lighting solutions, ranging from simple automation to highly complex dynamic lighting management.

Utility Management

WideSky Utility Insights is a smart, cloud-based solution that simplifies utility management by providing immediate visibility on usage, spend, emissions and ESG performance, to enable actionable insights.

WideSky Utility Insights is easy to implement, capturing data from utility invoices, interval data, site meters, and working with your existing systems to streamline the collection of critical sustainability data at a fraction of the effort and cost of manual alternatives.
