In a pilot project carried out in cooperation with carla, a social enterprise of Caritas, the circular economy principles of Repair & Reuse and High-Value Recycling were tested and analyzed using the Zumtobel TECTON continuous lighting system as an example. The partnership project focused on the development of a gentle dismantling process and efficient return logistics. The aim was to enable two product and material cycles as part of the circular economy. Voestalpine Stahl GmbH and Spar Österreichische Warenhandels-AG were also involved.
