Pioneering work in lighting systems – our circular concept is gold certified!

We develop lighting systems with an eye to what remains. That‘s why to us, reuse is not an add-on, but part of the design.

Cradle to Cradle describes this approach: better decisions, functioning cycles, and less waste.

That our approach got gold certified right away makes us very proud. Not as an award in itself, but as confirmation of the path that we are consistently following^.

The SYSTEM DOT 28 luminaire series from GEORG BECHTER LICHT has been awardet the C2C Circularity Certificate at Gold Level. This confirms via an independent party: SYSTEM DOT 28 luminaires meet the highest standards for a functioning, verifiable circular economy.

WHAT DOES C2C CIRCULARITY GOLD MEAN?

The C2C Circularity certification assesses the extent to which products are integrated into functioning material and product cycles – based on the Cradle to Cradle® principles. The Gold Level stands for highly advanced, real circularity that goes beyond mere design approaches.

WHY SYSTEM DOT 28 ACHIEVES GOLD

The luminaires in the SYSTEM DOT 28 meet the demanding criteria of the Gold Level to a particularly high standard:

Consistent circularity

• Clear classification of the materials used according to technical cycles
• No material-related obstacles to high-quality recycling
• Focus on preserving value rather than downcycling

High percentage of circulating materials

• The materials are selected and processed in such a way that they can actually be returned to the cycle
• Circularity has been proven, not just in theory
• Over 90% of the materials used are recyclable

Verifiable return structures

• Clear concepts for repurchase, separation and reuse
• Circular systems can be implemented both organisationally and technically

Long-lasting, modular design

• SYSTEM DOT 28 is designed for a long operating life
• Interchangeability and repairability are in focus
• Individual components can be replaced or reused

High material transparency

• Documented material composition
• A clear understanding of the relevant material flows throughout the product life cycle
• Confirmation from each supplier that no harmful substances are used (e.g. organohalogen compounds)

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR PLANNERS, ARCHITECTS AND BUILDERS

With the SYSTEM DOT 28, you are choosing a lighting solution that:

• meets the highest standards of design and quality
• makes a measurable contribution to the circular economy
• supports regulatory requirements (e.g. sustainability credentials))
• offers long-term investment security
• enables credible sustainability communication

CIRCULAR ECONOMY AS A DESIGN PRINCIPLE

At GEORG BECHTER LICHT, circular economy is not an added feature, but an integral part of the product philosophy. SYSTEM DOT 28 demonstrates how technical precision, timeless design and circularity can work together.

The Gold Level of the C2C Circularity Certification independently and transparently confirms this claim.
