Sustainable Energy and Natural Material

We use sustainable energy provided by Bullfrog Power and natural materials in our manufacturing process. We use green energy sourced from a blend of wind and low-impact hydropower produced by new Canadian renewable energy facilities and a unique ground-breaking methane capture project situated on one of Canada’s thousands of landfill sites (a climate-friendly alternative to conventional polluting natural gas). To power our facility, our lighting products are made with recycled aluminum and other eco-friendly materials.

A report by the European Commission found that green manufacturing practices can lead to cost savings of up to 20% for businesses. This is due to reduced waste and improved efficiency, resulting in lower production costs and increased profitability.

Our commitment to sustainability extends to our manufacturing process. We use green manufacturing practices to minimize waste and reduce environmental impact. We support local communities while reducing their carbon footprint by manufacturing our products in Canada and using locally available raw materials and a domestic supply chain.
