Circularity as a Service: Zumtobel launches first remanufacturing service for luminaires
- 1.As the first luminaire manufacturer, Zumtobel is introducing a standardized remanufacturing service that extends the life of lighting systems to at least two product life cycles.
- 2.A full-service, turnkey package covers everything from deinstallation and remanufacturing to reinstallation.
- 3.Delivery of an as-new system with at least equivalent performance and a new factory warranty.
- 4.Reusing components reduces material consumption, CO2 emissions and total cost of ownership (TCO).
- 5.A long-term service agreement makes modernization cycles predictable and ensures security of supply.
Zumtobel is launching a standardised remanufacturing service
designed to dramatically extend the use cycles of lighting systems, reduce CO2 emissions by 30 to 50 percent, and lower both material consumption as well as total cost of ownership (TCO). Unlike refurbishment, remanufacturing results in an as-new product with the same specifications, at least equivalent performance, and a new factory warranty. Zumtobel’s remanufacturing service also includes regular maintenance of the lighting systems and an annual inspection. This marks the first time a company can offer a fail-safe, sustainable multi-use model that covers at least two use cycles. After remanufacturing, Zumtobel will reinstall the lighting system either at the original site or at a new location.
For remanufacturing, Zumtobel relies on a standardized factory process in which reused components are combined with new ones. The luminaires are dismantled, individual components are tested, cleaned, repaired or replaced, and the system is restored to an as-new condition. Key electronic components such as drivers and LED modules are upgraded. Depending on the product, software updates may also be part of the process.
Full-service turnkey package enables seamless continued use with a new factory warranty
Zumtobel’s new remanufacturing service is designed as a comprehensive, worry-free package that takes the entire process burden off companies’ shoulders: From professional deinstallation of used luminaires and industrial remanufacturing with extensive quality checks up to reinstallation for a second or even third use cycle. The service consolidates all organizational, technical, and logistical tasks, offering businesses a stress-free end-to-end solution from a single source. This makes the switch to circular-ready lighting systems easier than ever before.
Significant CO2 savings compared to new products
Systematic component reuse reduces material requirements and, in turn, lowers emissions. For projects in brick-and-mortar retail, Zumtobel puts average CO2 savings at around 50% – calculated on the basis of Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) data. The data collected during a remanufacturing project also provides robust metrics for ESG (Environmental, Social & Governance) reporting and green building certifications. Circular product design is the foundation that enables remanufacturing at solution level.
“Our remanufacturing service addresses customer needs particularly in brick-and-mortar retail as well as in logistics and production. It results in lower total operating costs, reduced resource consumption and emissions, and improved performance thanks to regular technology upgrades,” says Alexandru Zloteanu, Innovation Manager at Zumtobel.
The remanufacturing agreement including regular maintenance and an annual inspection of the lighting systems can now be signed when purchasing selected luminaires from the TECTON II, VIVO II, PANOS III, CRAFT II and FACTOR II series.
