Here at Eco Fix UK Energy Solutions, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do, and we are committed to providing sustainable solutions, reducing carbon, and saving energy. We understand that sustainability is not just about a product or practice but striving to push the boundaries for the protection of the environment and our future.
The 2030 UN Agenda for Sustainable Development was created to protect the planet from degradation through sustainable consumption and production, sustainably managing natural resources and taking urgent action on climate change.
In line with our ethos, we believe that lighting manufacturers can contribute towards these sustainability goals through responsible production, tackling issues including:
- Ensuring access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy
- Making cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable
- Ensuring sustainable consumption and production patterns
- Taking urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts
Sustainable energy
Modern LEDs are a huge improvement on traditional filaments in terms of quality and longevity. The longer lasting a luminaire is, the less it needs to be replaced, creating less waste and a more sustainable lighting option. Therefore, manufacturers and suppliers must work to create affordable LED options to increase the accessibility of sustainable solutions for all.
We provide a vast range of LED solutions throughout our portfolio, with an additional focus on Solar PV and EV charging, promoting sustainable solutions fir for the future. Solar panels can generate a significant amount of energy needed for a building and reduce energy bills, offering a sustainable energy solution, whereas Electric Vehicle charging points offer pioneering solutions for the innovative vehicles of the future.
Sustainable production
The answer is not just through sustainable products and consumption, but through producing these luminaires in a more sustainable process, with a focus on recycling and maintaining natural resources through a circular economy.
Our Eco Fix Energy Solutions brand of lighting is sustainable and circular in design, made in the UK to contribute to the circular economy of lighting solutions.
We are incredibly proud to be a partner of The Regen Initiative, a lighting fixture refurbishment service with the aim to deliver sustainable, circular lighting solutions by breathing new life into existing fixtures. As a partner of The Regen Initiative, all products delivered will have been designed, engineered, validated, manufactured, tested, certified, warranted and installed to the highest quality, in the UK, in line with the latest regulatory standards.
We source from localised supply chains in line with Circular Economy principles, and our process is open and collaborative, welcoming project opportunities with multiple lighting OEMs and installers.
Combatting climate change
It is not just governments and legislation that is pushing towards the war on climate change, but consumers are also becoming more aware of the need for affordable and sustainable products, energy, and buildings going forward.
As part of our sustainable solutions, we identify efficiency opportunities to reduce energy usage and carbon emissions through audits and surveys which identify areas where energy can be reduced, saving on consumption and costs.
Looking to the future
The 2030 UN Agenda for Sustainable Development was established in 2015, as was the Paris Agreement on climate change. Though many strides have been made across various industries and sectors in the years since, there is still much to be done to reach those goals by 2030. With less than a decade left to accomplish the goal of sustainable energy, we believe it to be vital that lighting manufacturers and others in the industry work together to accomplish this goal.
If we all do our part to commit to sustainable productions and development, we could be looking at a brighter future in 2030.
