LEDs, Sensors & Light Management

Through the installation of LEDs, sensors and light management systems at the VS locations, a reduction of 40% in electricity consumption was achieved last year. The Blu2Light light management system is used in many areas of the company's locations to ensure efficient lighting and to monitor this as well.

 

Cycle of reusable packaging materials

The introduction of reusable plastic holders when shipping LED modules is intended to reduce waste. The LED modules must be protected by plastic holders during transport. These plastic holders are part of a cycle and are returned to VS so that they can be reused for the next shipment.

Use of recycled plastic granulate in our products

Materials containing recycled plastic are used in the technically suitable products. Thus, products can be manufactured that contain up to 30% recycled plastic granutal and therefore reduce plastic production.

 

 

Taskforce for sustainability projects

The formation of a task force for the analysis, implementation and control of sustainability measures in the company ensures a structured and secure implementation at all VS locations.

 

Promotional items made from recycled material and plastic-free packaging

All VS promotional materials have sustainable packaging without plastic. Likewise, all parts that are made of plastic are exclusively made of recycled plastic. An example are our ToGo cups from up2you.

Special garden areas for bees, insects & birds in preparation

A special garden area for bees, insects & birds will be created at our logistics site in Ettlingen. This area is not only intended to be a place for animals, but also to offer our employees a quiet and relaxed retreat.

 

Corporate climate protection is important to us - we are pleased to be a founding member of the new corporate climate protection network.


Within the network, climate protection measures are exchanged and improved, and suggestions for new opportunities are developed. The aim is to network companies for a more climate-conscious economy and to organise active contributions.

We at Vossloh-Schwabe would like to contribute to this with an environmentally friendly corporate culture and sustainable production processes. Energy-efficient lighting controls and building automation systems can support a climate-friendly working environment. We are openly committed to a climate-conscious economy and want to set the course for a future worth living.

Our partner from the USA has been developing and producing high-quality semiconductor for about 30 years. CREE has been our partner for an extensive range of LEDs since 2004. The product range includes a wide range of high brightness, high power LEDs offered in SMD as well as THT and COB technology.

To complement our LED range, we offer secondary optics and reflectors from our partners Carclo (www.carclo.com) and LEDiL (www.ledil.com). The product range includes a large selection of optics, optic holders and reflectors made of PMMA and silicone. We specifically stock up on a wide range of products to match the LEDs from CREE and Nichia we offer.




We develop and produce a variety of LED optics for shop, office, hall and street lighting for you. Optics are available in various designs (round, square, linear) made of high-quality materials (PMMA, silicone) and with any beam angles (narrow/wide, asymmetrical or combined).
