Environmental Responsibility

We are committed to reducing our carbon footprint and promoting the circular economy. By integrating eco-design principles, we minimise waste and maximise the use of recycled materials in our products and packaging. Our goal is to phase out single-use plastics and increase the share of sustainable materials, ensuring every product reflects our respect for the environment.

CASE HISTORY

Our ecological approach to products

BTicino adopts an integrated ecological approach that considers sustainability as a guiding principle throughout all stages of product design, production, and distribution. This commitment is reflected in a strong focus on energy savings, the selection of suppliers who implement certified environmental management systems, the use of recycled materials, and the evaluation of environmental impact across the entire product lifecycle.

Light NOW

The entire Light Now project, in continuity with BTicino values, is based on a sustainable approach which concerns procedures, technologies, environmental impact of the product, materials and packaging.
 

  • Light Now uses 50% recycled materials for coverplates and supports from mechanical and chemical recycling.
  • All Light Now product packaging is entirely plastic-free. Additionally, we have optimized weight and volume to the fullest extent possible, significantly minimizing the carbon footprint.

Linea 5000

Linea 5000 embodies a sustainable vision, combining eco-friendly materials with intelligent energy-saving features:
 

  • Recycled aluminium. The fixing frames of the Linea 5000 modules and the finishing frames are made of 60% recycled aluminium.
  • Only active when needed. The proximity and brightness sensors contribute to energy efficiency, as the screen only activates when needed, automatically and only when someone approaches.

  • Packaging: Fully paper-based, plastic-free, lightweight, and space-efficient to reduce carbon emissions.
  • Safety & emissions: halogen-free for fire safety and designed to cut CO₂ emissions by 24% compared to conventional products.

We created responsible packaging

BTicino demonstrates its commitment to protecting the environment on multiple fronts, including packaging. By carefully optimizing design, production and assembly processes, BTicino has created responsible packaging. Smart choices, such as reducing the printed surface, avoiding UV varnishing or lamination, and replacing plastic with 100% FSC Mix certified paper have paid off. The results so far are an increase in recycled raw materials (+134.1 T) and a strong reduction in weight (-26.6 T), disposable plastic (-26.3 T) and emissions (-153.5 T).

We make recycling easy for our customers

Recycling is a key aspect in the development of BTicino's packaging solutions. To facilitate separate waste collection, BTicino produces single-material packaging and provides consumers with tools to support proper disposal.

One of the tool is the on-line guide on environmental labelling "How do I dispose of it?", currently available for the Italian market only.

The WEEE European directive (2012/19/EU)

The WEEE directive aims to reduce the quantity of wastes coming from the end-of-life of electrical and electronic equipments, reducing at the same time the presence in the environment of the dangerous substances prohibited by the RoHS directive.
