Buildings are responsible for nearly 40 percent of global GHG emissions and roughly one-third of all waste is related to building and construction. That means we must bet on lower embodied carbon solutions, advancements in the circular economy, and safer by design innovation.

But recycling is near the bottom of the waste hierarchy. Recycling destroys most of the embodied carbon in an electrical product, and should only be used if reuse, repair and remanufacture are not possible. It is important to purchase from lighting producers committed to applying the waste hierarchy and to proper recycling.
