Celebrating Canada’s Clean50 Honouree for Lighting

Clean 50

The Canada’s Clean50 Honour is awarded every September to 50 individual leaders and small teams who have contributed the most to enhancing sustainability and clean capitalism in Canada over the prior two years. Among this year’s Clean Tech honourees was C. Wade Sheen, CEO, Cooledge Lighting, Richmond, BC.

Among this year’s Clean Tech honourees was C. Wade Sheen, CEO, Cooledge Lighting, Richmond, BC. This is how the Clean50 program describes Cooledge Lighting: Cooledge is disrupting the 135-year-old electric lighting industry with the world’s first sustainable high-efficiency lighting system. Made from feedstocks from the current recyclable materials stream, Cooledge’s thin, flexible, efficient lighting systems are revolutionizing the way light is merged with architecture, using products that can be fully recycled at the end of their useful lighting lifecycle. Being twice as efficient as current fluorescent lighting systems used in retail, industrial, institutional and office environments, Cooledge’s LED based lighting systems can reduce the world’s electrical consumption for lighting by 50%, resulting in a corresponding reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. From building the technical team and making significant contributions to the early designs and technology, through building a global sales and distribution network, Wade continues to lead the company in industry leading growth.

Clean 50 winners are chosen from over 500 nominees spanning 16 distinct categories: Advocacy & ENGOs, Angels & Investors, Cities, Building, Clean Tech, Consultants, Education, Financial & Services, Manufacturing & Transportation, Primary Resources, Public Sector, R&D, Renewable and Traditional Energy Generation, Retail & Consumer, Technology & Telecom.
