Remade in Germany – Luminaires made from recycled plastics
“Everyone said it couldn’t be done – until someone came along and just made it”. Recycling or replacing technical plastics is not possible, too costly, not profitable … PRACHT simply does it!
At the PRACHT site in Buchenau, complete luminaire series are now manufactured from recycled materials. The KATLA REMADE was the world’s first industrial luminaire made of recycled material, and PRACHT is continuing the success story with the KATLA ONE which is also made of 100% recycled plastic and can additionally be customized (laser engraving) as well as being equipped with a patented slide system for the exchangeability of driver and circuit board
Moreover, further luminaire series are already being converted to recycled material.
Now the question arises: “Does the switch to recycled materials come along with a loss of quality of the luminaires?” The answer is “No!” The new materials are just as resistant to temperature influences, acids, oils, alkalis, pressure and cleaning agents as the previous engineering plastics. Sustainability is neither collateral damage nor benefit here, but the maxim for new developments. The material innovation of KATLA REMADE is not only price-neutral, but even results in an improvement of the photometric properties.
Recycled materials are not only about the recycling of post-industrial waste plastic, but also about the recycling of post-consumer waste plastic. Here, for example, yogurt pots can be recycled to be turned into product parts.
For PRACHT, the entry into the use of recycled production material was another logical step towards an ecologically and sustainably managed family business.
