Doing our bit for a greener world
VARILIGHT's new flow wrap packing machine (pictured below) produces recyclable packaging that is 7x lighter than the previous oyster style packaging, which will net savings of around 10.2 tonnes of plastic per year. This saving is equivalent to over a million plastic bottles every year.
This huge reduction in Varilight's usage of plastic packaging is only part of the effort to reduce our environmental impact. We're changing how we sell Multi-Grid Dimmers to reduce Grid Dimmer Adaptor wastage. In other brands' grid packs, customers have to buy a grid module with up to 10 Grid Dimmer Adaptors and have to throw all but one away to use the one they need. In the improved Varilight Multi-Grid system, we're offering packs containing 10 of any manufacturer's Grid Dimmer Adaptors, so you can purchase exactly what you need, without wastage.
Varilight Matrix
Varilight has introduced a new range called Varilight Matrix, which will reduce dimmer wastage. Any combination of dimmers can be installed on a faceplate using the new Varilight Matrix system, which enables customers to mix and match from a wide selection of dimmer modules. The Matrix system is a 2-part purchase with customers ordering a Matrix dimmer plate kit and then ordering the dimmer modules they need separately. Each Matrix plate kit comprises a faceplate, control knobs, nuts and a box spanner for simple assembly on site.
This will reduce waste by allowing the purchase of only the necessary components. Customers will no longer need to buy a fully assembled product and replacement modules to achieve a custom configuration.
