Sustainable lamps
Environmentally friendly lighting ideas with flairTaking the environment into account when buying lights and opting for sustainable products - this is becoming increasingly important for interior fans alongside design, form and function. But what constitutes sustainable lighting? From the use of energy-saving LED technology to the use of recycled materials such as plastic and glass or renewable raw materials such as wood and bamboo, the aspects are diverse. Another topic: quality through high-quality materials and sustainable processing, which guarantees a long service life for the lights. In addition, many luminaire manufacturers pay attention to short transport routes and the possibility of repairing a luminaire in favour of the environment. Recycled materials are an issue when it comes to packaging.

The Dutch lighting manufacturer not only provides feel-good light with its sustainable lighting creations, but is also socially committed: by supporting the WakaWaka Foundation, which provides solar energy to families around the world who are denied access to light and electricity. In addition, a tree is planted for every light purchased from Good & Mojo.

Think Paper
Think Paper is a lighting manufacturer based in the Netherlands that thinks sustainably across the board: for the characteristic lamps, cardboard strips (made from wood from responsibly managed forests) are assembled by hand to form lampshades. Depending on your taste, you can create different bulbous and always equally cosy-looking lights. Only adhesive that is 100 per cent biodegradable is used for processing.

LZF Lamps
LZF Lamps uses FSC-certified wood for its production in Chiva near Valencia, Spain. When it comes to lighting, the company uses permanently installed, energy-saving LED technology. Repairs to the lights can be carried out at the factory in Spain, which relies on traditional craftsmanship, but also by local craftsmen to avoid unnecessary transport. LZF Lamps uses recyclable materials for the packaging and cardboard as filling material.

GoFurnit
GoFurnit relies on "Made in Germany" craftsmanship in the production of creative lighting designs. The young Cologne-based brand uses wood veneer from FSC-certified production for its warm and atmospheric lampshades. The designs are recognisable thanks to the boldly curved arrangement of the wafer-thin wooden strips. True to the motto "Zero Waste", the sustainable luminaire manufacturer produces fruit bowls from leftover wood. Ecological aspects also play an important role when it comes to packaging and transport.

Envostar
Envostar luminaires are all manufactured in Europe. Sustainable materials such as bamboo, plaster, clay, glass, paper and rattan are used. The company uses FSC-certified wood for its wooden lights.

Domus
All Domus lights are manufactured in our own factory in Bad Münder in Germany - predominantly from renewable raw materials, in particular wood from controlled cultivation areas. All luminaires can be operated with LED technology or are already equipped with it. Customised cardboard packaging made from recycled cardboard and filling material made from crumpled recycled paper are used for shipping. All lights can be repaired years after the end of production in the company's own factory, where manual labour is a top priority.

HerzBlut
All HerzBlut lights are manufactured in our own factory in Sauerland, Germany. This involves the use of materials made from renewable raw materials from FSC-certified suppliers in combination with the use of energy-saving lighting. HerzBlut uses environmentally friendly, largely plastic-free packaging for shipping. And if a light breaks, it can be repaired at the factory. Because traditional craftsmanship is very important there - even second-hand wood is used for some lights.
:format(jpeg) "Tagwerk")
Tagwerk
Tagwerk produces lights using a 3D printing process in southern Germany and sources liquid wood and corn starch as 100% biomaterials from southern Germany and Austria. Production takes place without offcuts, with the greatest possible avoidance of waste (zero waste) and zero emissions. Energy-saving LED technology is used. All lights can be dismantled into lampshades and electronic elements and are therefore repairable and recyclable. Recycled materials are largely used for shipping.

Sustainable floor lamps
Creating a lighting ambience with careFloor lamps that focus on sustainability rely on natural materials such as hay, bamboo etc. and a production process that conserves resources and avoids waste. And this is by no means at the expense of the design or the lighting effect. Because natural materials are absolutely on trend and, in combination with cosy light, provide natural accents and a cosy atmosphere in the living room, bedroom and other rooms.

Sustainable ceiling lamps
Natural chic from aboveCeiling lights are the right choice for general lighting. If they not only provide pleasant light but also impress with their design, that's all the better. For example, designers of sustainable ceiling lamps prefer to use natural materials such as FSC-certified wood and also rely on green electricity and regionality in the production process. This creates timeless luminaires for pleasant general lighting in every room, from the living room to the hallway.

Sustainable wall lamps
Eye-catcher with style and love for the environmentWall lamps attract attention simply because they are positioned at eye level. Sustainable wall lamps, for example made of bamboo or wood, can also tell a story: in which region they were handcrafted, which renewable materials made their creation possible and how they protect the environment in terms of light production thanks to energy-efficient technology. Their use within the four walls: They don't just add flair to living rooms. We also appreciate relaxed lighting solutions made from natural materials in the bedroom.

Sustainable pendant lights
Elegance with depthDesigners who put their heart and soul into sustainability use natural materials to create lighting creations that turn our interiors into feel-good places par excellence. From the finest bamboo struts and handmade cardboard lamps to simply shaped felt shades with charm, all finishes ensure pure lighting pleasure. Sustainable pendant lights are not just a treat for the kitchen, dining room and living room. In addition to wall lights, they also provide timelessly elegant light in the hallway entrance area.
Sustainable lighting starts with energy-efficient light bulbs
)
The technology of choice when it comes to sustainability, efficiency and saving electricity costs is LED. Whether as replaceable light sources or permanently installed - sustainable light sources are the must-have for an environmentally conscious future. The best thing is that permanently installed LED technology is not only sustainably energy-saving, but also opens up completely new possibilities for filigree, slimline lighting designs.
)
When it comes to maximising energy efficiency, there is no way around modern LED technology. It is far more environmentally friendly than energy-saving lamps (10 % saving), halogen lamps (60 % saving) and the well-known incandescent lamp (90 % saving). The latest generation of LED light sources, which are assigned to energy efficiency class A, save even more on consumption. Details can be found in this light bulb guide.
