Announcing the Remanufacturing Lighting Conference

Clients, both corporate and public sector, are warming to the concept of reconditioned lights to achieve both sustainability goals and cost savings. And now tenders are beginning to emerge which specify that reconditioning and reuse of luminaires is an option in a project. This unique conference will take you through the opportunities and the challenges, and equip and inspire you for your remanufacturing journey!

The special one-day Recolight conference is focused on the remanufacture of lighting equipment. It will take place in London on 27th April 2023 from 10:30 – 16:00.

“Remanufacturing is set to be a fast-growing area of the lighting industry as customers increasingly ask for the option of upgraded products,'” says conference chair Ray Molony.  “We're seeing in the tech industry the rapid destigmatisation of reconditioned products and attitudes are rapidly changing.”

Aimed at manufacturers, suppliers and specifiers, the presentations will give delegates vital insights to help drive their businesses forward and ensure they stay at the forefront of the sustainable lighting revolution. Commenting on the importance of the event, Simon Fisher of F Mark says:

“Whilst remanufacturing is not a new phenomenon, 2023 will be a landmark year in which this practice will become a credible alternative to simply replacing for new”

Explaining Recolight’s commitment to the event, Nigel Harvey, Recolight CEO said:

“Recolight operate as a not-for-profit Compliance Scheme. We are on a mission to recycle less lighting, but to reuse far more.  All too often, recycling is the easy option – but frequently it does not produce the best environmental outcomes. We are committed to working with our partners throughout the lighting industry to move towards a sustainable, Circular Economy model. The low attendance cost reflects this, and is set to cover administration and venue hire.”

The conference, organised by Ray Molony and Recolight, will be a vital step in making a success of luminaire reconditioning and reuse.
