RECANDESCENT
A Cradle-to-Cradle lightbulb, which allows for easy separation of harmful LED components.
Recandescent addresses the long-term environmental impacts of LED light sources using a suitable alternative. While LED lights are currently considered the “green” option, they only remain truly green during their use thanks to their decreased CO2 emissions. The down side? They’re non-recyclable, and contain toxic materials like Arsenic and Bisphenol-A, which can leach out of LEDs when they are thrown away, potentially poisoning the surrounding environment. Recandescent address these issues with its modular or “Cradle-to-Cradle” design, which allows for the easy separation of components. This ensures purity of returned material, and therefore more valuable material for recycling.
