30. Sep23543 Sustainability is an important aspect of the business world’s social and environmental responsibilities, preserving vital natural resources for future generations and positively enhancing brand awareness. German LED Tech GmbH is a company driven by a mission to drastically reduce energy demands, and support sustainability goals through use of its its GLT TUBE lighting, which is a responsible alternative to the fluorescent tube lighting that’s long been in use throughout factories, offices, and homes in Europe and beyond. German LED Tech is a company that stands at the vanguard of sustainability with its resource saving, economical GLT TUBES. This product offers a far more environmentally friendly way to light buildings, developed specifically to allow for easy retro fitting. The company was formed 12 years ago, by CEO Stefan Svanberg, with the direct intention of bringing to market something that could challenge the widespread use of toxic, powerhungry fluorescent tube lighting. It has long been known that LED technology offers a lighting alternative that is better for the environment, saves on energy consumption, and is a much healthier option all round. Sadly, the lighting industry has long conspired to find spurious reasons to continue manufacturing and using the mercury containing fluorescent strip lights. However, this will soon change, as the final end of harmful T5 and T8 tubes has been a fact since August 2023. Fluorescent tubes are harmful to the environment, wildlife, and people, and should always be disposed of carefully, using specialised recycling services. Unfortunately, all too often this factor is either wilfully or unknowingly overlooked by people disposing of their old tube lighting. In fact, the demonstrable increase in the mercury content of German landfill sites recently has extended a fair indication that far too many fluorescent tubes have indeed been finding their way into normal household waste. This prompted Stefan to found German LED Tech, and bring an innovative solution to market. The RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) Directive is a European regulatory body that aims to prevent risks to human health and the environment by restricting the use of hazardous substances in electrical equipment. It has banned the use of mercury in lamps since 2011, which makes it absolutely imperative that organisations in the public sector take action to move away from fluorescent tube lighting. T5 and T8 fluorescent tubes are now (from August 2023) classified as hazardous waste and highly toxic energy wasters. This makes it a matter of urgency that businesses convert away from fluorescent tube lighting to the much more environmentally friendly professional LED lighting. German LED Tech offers a like for like replacement by means of LED retrofit (according to DIN EN 62776) which can be quickly and easily realised to update and improve existing lighting systems. The new LED lighting will also ensure the environment is protected, and reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions by up to 80%. The GLT TUBES are the most sustainable LED lighting tubes on the market today. They have been certified with the Best LED Lighting Manufacturer 2023 - Europe Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) by the Institut Bauen und Umwelt e.V. (IBU). It is now recognised as an LED light source for sustainable construction in accordance with international standards ISO 14025 and EN 158074. The GLT TUBES are German made, and 90% recyclable via a unique reusable system. German LED Tech is helping to convert old fluorescent tubes to GLT TUBES across multiple divisions, and has helped refurbish some big-name clients such as Deutsche Bahn, AVIS, and Berlin BER Airport. The company is also able to offer flexible rental models offering immediate savings to companies without the requirement for initial capital commitment. German LED Tech can make the changes so quickly and smoothly it will barely even be noticed by your workforce. What it does mean is that companies can benefit from massive energy savings from day one, without any significant risk. Small wonder then to find German LED Tech GmbH has been named as Best LED Lighting Manufacturer 2023 – Europe in the German Business Awards. It is certainly lighting the way to a brighter, more sustainable future for all. Company: German LED Tech GmbH Web Address: www.germanledtech.com Contact Name: Claudia Behrens
