At Secto Design, we are committed to leading the way in sustainable lighting, by basing our actions on verified data and openly sharing the environmental impact of our operations and products. As part of this commitment, we have conducted a comprehensive Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) for all our products, a key sustainability target set in 2023 (see our sustainability report for further details).
We are now proud to announce the publication of our first EPDs for the following pendant lamps: Octo 4240, Octo Small 4241, Secto 4200, Secto 4201, Victo 4250, Puncto 4203.
We chose to report our LCA results through EPDs to provide transparent, comparable, and third-party-verified data on our products' environmental performance throughout their lifecycle. The EPD format enables architects, designers, and other professionals to make informed decisions by comparing the environmental impact of different products.
Our EPDs are downloadable in PDF format from the International EPD System's EPD library. Further EPDs for other Secto Design lamp models will be published in the coming months.
Each EPDs includes the product’s carbon footprint, expressed through the Environmental Impact Indicator Total Global Warming Potential (GWP-total) indicator. The associated greenhouse gas emissions expressed as kg of carbon dioxide equivalent (kgCO₂e) are presented for each lifecycle stage. The CO2 footprint of the production stage cradle to gate is low, even in some cases negative, due to the carbon bound in the wood. When looking at the entire lifecycle —“cradle to grave”— the energy consumption during use accounts for over 90% of the CO2 footprint in the EPD scenario of 15 years and nearly 60 000 hours lit.
Investing in developing the EPDs reflects our firm commitment to sustainability, transparency, and empowering our clients to make environmentally responsible choices. We invite you to explore our EPDs and join us in illuminating our interiors more sustainably!
