UK, December 2024 – Lighting specialist TRILUX is now offering the Oleveon Fit and
Aragon Fit moisture-proof luminaires in a new sustainable version. The diffuser and
housing of both models are made from 100% recycled plastic, marking another step
towards a circular economy. TRILUX subsidiary Zalux developed the environmentally
friendly solutions in Spain.

In line with the TRILUX Group’s commitment to a fully circular economy, Zalux has developed
these sustainable versions of the tried-and-tested Oleveon Fit and Aragon Fit moisture-proof
luminaires. On request, the models are now available in recycled versions, featuring diffusers
and housing made completely from recycled plastic. "Through extensive material and quality
testing, we were able to ensure that using recycled materials does not compromise efficiency,
light quality or robustness," explains Manuel Pina, Sustainability Director at Zalux, who led the
development in Spain.

Recycling with Post-Industrial and Post-Consumer Plastics

Two types of recycled plastic are used for the sustainable luminaires. To meet the high
demands placed on the optical system, the diffuser is made of post-industrial polycarbonate,
sourced from production waste in the automotive and consumer electronics industries, such as
headlights or monitor covers. Meanwhile, the housing is crafted from post-consumer
polycarbonate, which is made from recycled, shredded green PE bottles. This material gives
the housing a subtle, translucent green tint, highlighting the sustainability of the luminaires and
clearly distinguishing them from the classic portfolio. To make ordering straightforward, these
variants are easily identified with the "RCY" label.
Seamlessly Integrated into Production

The recycled raw materials are supplied in pellet form, which can be fed directly into the
production process without further adjustments. This enables production capacities to be
adapted quickly and easily.

Market demand already shows great potential for these sustainable luminaires. "Concrete
customer inquiries have encouraged us to fast-track the development " confirms Manuel Pina.
The result: it took just 14 months to go from concept to market launch. As with all TRILUX
products, customers can order the RCY variants via TRILUX ONE and the TRILUX online
product catalogue.
