5. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle:The Key to Sustainable Lighting • State government mandates and corporate awareness are causing environmental attention & compliance to grow very fast • Sustainable lighting practice is part of sustainable development • Environmental decision-making is now made at a higher level in most organizations: • Top down directive to “buy green” • Value Creation • Long term customer relationships

6. Sustainable Lighting Good Practice Redefined • Five years ago, good lighting design practice included a strong focus on architectural integration and decoration – with some technical attention to basic energy conservation. • Today, environmental awareness is inherent to good practice for every project – beyond energy efficiency – to include maximum use of daylighting, origins & longevity of products, reuse, recycling & disposal considerations.

7. Sustainable Development Commitment “We recognize the need to perform not only against a single, financial bottom line, but against the triple bottom line. This involves the simultaneous pursuit not only of economic prosperity and environmental quality, but of social equity as well. It’s about living up to our brand promise, Let’s make things better.” - Gerard Kleisterlee, President, Royal Philips Electronics

8. Public Disclosure Philips provides a publicly disclosed certification. Philips’ Alto ISO compliant LCA meets MTS’ Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) Standard. LCA identifies product benefits/impacts throughout the supply chain.

10. EPA Hierarchy – Lamps • Reduce - Environmental impact (mercury,lead) • Reuse - mercury • Recycle - mercury containing lamps • Dispose - last choice & not advisable due to environmental impact & liability, & not legal in several states including California

11. Environmental Impacts of Lighting • Raw materials & processes to make fixtures, ballasts, lamps, controls • Longevity of those products to reduce replacement & waste • Energy/watts consumed by fixtures when installed • Fuel to deliver products to project sites & packaging for safe transport

12. Sustainable Lighting Questions:life cycle impacts & benefits • Raw materials: What are the materials needed? Where are they from? Are they renewable or are we depleting a limited supply? • Process: Where are the products assembled, are any hazardous chemicals used? Is the health of the workers at risk? What emissions or water-borne chemicals leave the factory? How much waste is created to make 1 product?

13. Sustainable Lighting:life cycle impacts & benefits • Packaging / Delivery: What packaging materials are used to safely transport the products? How much material is needed? Is the material bio-degradable? Can it be recycled? Does the manufacturer take it back to reuse it? How close is the factory to the project site? Can the products be delivered all at once to reduce fuel waste? • Installation / Use: How easy is the product to install? Can it be easily damaged during installation? How long will it last? What can be done to increase its life?

15. Sustainable Lighting:life cycle impacts & benefits cont… • Reclamation/ Reuse / Disposal: Is the product reusable? Is the product recyclable? Is it biodegradable? Can it be sent back to the manufacturer for reuse? Do materials go to landfill & if so how much? All landfills leak & create environmental degradation.

16. Reduction –1st “R” • Reduce mercury content- www.INFORMINC.org • Ask manufacturer mercury content • Reduce lead solder usage-94% lead free by end 2003- • Introduction of low mercury T-5

17. Lifetime Mercury Emissions KEY * Based on 20K burning hours, Hg content of 23 mg/ T12 lamp, and 8 mg per T8 lamp. Hg content of fuels is US weighted average for fossil and nonfossil fuels, calculated from “Environmental and Health Aspects of Lighting: Mercury” J.IES 1994. Disposal emissions assume 3% in residuals of recycling, 90% from incinerators.

19. Regulation & Standards • State of Iowa State contracts require lowest mercury available • State of Washington statute - no mercury or lowest available • LEED-Existing Buildings targets mercury content to 100 picograms per lumen hour, per LEED-EB 2nd review draft currently posted on USGBC.org

20. MERCURY FISH ADVISORIES • Illinois – All Rivers and lakes • San Francisco Bay • Delaware River (NJ) • Onondaga Lake (NY) • Snake River (OR) • The Everglades Coal fired power plants are predominant mercury source.

21. Case Study

22. Case Study… Philips Lighting FormulaAn Energy Blueprint for the Nation • Relamped Berkeley California city block with energy efficient lighting • Residential & Business • Demonstrated how easy it is to improve efficiency by changing lamps • Created a Blueprint for others • Partners: Department of Energy, State of California & City of Berkeley

26. Reusing materials-second “R” • Recycled mercury used for dosing lamps • Barrier layer allows continual reuse of mercury during operation • Active industrial reuse of glass in tube manufacture • Reuse of packaging – internal shipments • Recycled content packaging

28. Recycling –third “R” • Industry active in outreach program (SWAMA, ALMR,NEMA) • Distributors encouraged to develop recycling programs • Introduction of end users to recyclers

29. Recycling of Mercury Lamps • Reverse Distribution- WESCO Maine • Distributor-Recycler partnership • Distributor prepaid box program • Recycler Direct Contact with end users • Recycler partnership with County and Municipalities • For more info: 732-563-3197

30. States requiring recycling of all lamps • California • Minnesota • Vermont • Maine • Rhode Island • Connecticut • Florida-1/2 of state

31. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle: The Keyto Sustainable Product Manufacturing • Internal program for sustainable product design & manufacturing • Reduces energy use • Reduces manufacturing waste • Reduces water use • Reduces emissions • ISO 14001 certification • ISO 14040 compliant product life cycle assessments (LCAs)
