Take-Back-Guarantee & Procedures
We want to avoid recycling in the future.
Our motto is: reuse – refurbish – remanufacture
The return of all our luminaires from 01.01.2023 on is a key part of our contribution to the circular economy. All our actions and decisions related to SATTLER-RE are based on a future-oriented overall concept, which starts at the design process. We are in the middle of the adaptation procedure of redesigning all our luminaires in such a way that we can lead them efficiently and economically justifiable into a 2nd life cycle when they are taken back today, in 5, 10 or 20 years.
There are only three ways for us to do this:
reuse, refurbish or remanufacture
