Environment

Committed to the environment
As one of the two largest manufacturers of lamps in the world, OSRAM has long been committed to protecting the environment and conserving our natural resources. LUMILUX lamps are also impressive for their low environmental impact - in more ways than one:
 


  • Greatly reduced mercury content
    (<5 mg as per ROHS*)
  • Longer service life, so fewer lamps for
    waste disposal
  • Fully recyclable:
    - Selective separation of old components
    - Recycling as secondary raw materials
    - Re-use in lamp production
  • Compliance with EU regulations (WEEE**)
