We want to contribute to a brighter future

At STRIHL, sustainability is part of our daily work and we want to make a difference for future generations. We will not be passive in the face of the greatest climate crisis of our time, the challenges facing society are great, but together we can make a difference.

Sustainability is our focus when developing our products and with lighting solutions adapted to human needs and with the least possible environmental impact, we take our responsibility for a sustainable development in society.

Future lighting contributes to sustainable solutions

With our expertise in lighting, we create customized solutions for lighting public spaces. Our aim is to contribute to a safe, secure and productive outdoor and working environment.

The right light in the right place increases well-being, this in itself is an important aspect that is often forgotten when talking about sustainability. A deep understanding of people's lighting needs, knowledge of lighting design and high quality, long-lasting products ensure that our lighting solutions last over time and thus keep consumption at a sustainable level.

We will act responsibly with regard to the environment, working conditions, human rights and ethical business practices.

Improved packaging with a focus on circularity

We will contribute to a circular economy. We do this by recycling and reusing materials together with reducing waste in our value chain. We are constantly looking for new ways to reduce the climate impact of material use, packaging and to maximize waste recycling. Today, our packaging consists almost exclusively of recyclable and reusable materials.

We have largely replaced the use of plastic as a packaging material with recycled cardboard due to the fact that plastics make up a large part of global waste that does not break down naturally and is a source of marine, soil and air pollution. In addition, some plastics can be linked to harmful substances and recycling rates are often low due to contamination and difficulties in separating different types of plastics from each other.

Kartong är biologiskt nedbrytbart vilket innebär att den skadliga miljöpåverkan är obefintlig. Materialet uppfyller dessutom alla de krav vi har på skyddande egenskaper vid transport och hantering. Vi anpassar kartonger efter specifika produkter, detta för att säkerställa platseffektiva transporter.

Modernizing street lighting with sustainable inputs

We offer model-specific LED inserts as a sustainable alternative to replacing the entire existing street luminaire. Mhe material savings in terms of cable and luminaire housing are significant, as an average of 6 m of cable and 4 kg of aluminum are saved on a light point, as the cable and luminaire housing are reused. This contributes to an improved circular economy and a reduced footprint in material use.

The inserts are prepared for the respective luminaire housing and they are also optimized for the fastest possible conversion process. The conversion itself is basically carried out in the same time as a planned serial change of light source. Since these are carried out at regular intervals, extra work can be avoided. There is usually time to change 6 inserts compared to 2 new luminaires per hour.

Lifetime of LED module and driver often matches the remaining lifetime of the luminaire housing well and iff you have a stock of, for example, 3000 luminaires that are 8-10 years old where you can reduce from 50 W excl. losses to 30 W, then the energy savings together with reduced maintenance gives significant sums on the last row seen over 17-20 years.

Own mast production for a sustainable end product

Our masts have an estimated lifetime of 50 years and are certified according to EU standard EN1090-1. The masts are an environmentally cleaner option as our modern robotic welding facility consumes less energy compared to hand welding. The raw material is of high quality and deliveries are kept within the Nordic region, which is essential for the rather bulky mast sections.

90%
Modern LED technology combined with smart lighting control can reduce energy consumption by up to 90%. 

Energy efficient LED technology for reduced CO2 emissions

One of our priorities is increased energy efficiency which in itself benefits the environment but also the user from an economic aspect. Today's modern technology allows high light output (Lumen per Watt) which ensures great advantages over conventional, outdated and sometimes environmentally hazardous light sources. By replacing conventional luminaires and light sources with modern LED technology, energy consumption can be reduced by up to 50%. Add smart lighting control and consumption can be reduced by up to 90%. 

Certifications

We care about our common environment to contribute to a positive environmental development and do everything we can to develop, produce and deliver lighting products with the expected quality, on time. As a led part of this, we are certified according to ISO 14001 (environment) and ISO 9001 (quality).
