Circular lighting at Schiphol Airport
Our choice for the new lighting in Lounge 2 shows that we take our responsibility in the use of raw materials resources and commit to our sustainability policy.- André van den Berg, Executive Vice President & Chief Commercial Officer Schiphol Group
Customer challenge
Schiphol is one of the sustainable airports in the world. The airport has made it a top priority to reduce energy consumption and continuously looks for ways to build sustainably. All of these efforts serve a single goal: to become the most sustainable airport in the world. When Schiphol decided to remodel Lounge 2 they saw a huge opportunity for making further progress in this direction with sustainable LED lighting.
The right lighting
Our Circular lighting solution was the best option. The principle is simple: instead of buying a luminaire, you buy light. When the contract period has expired, the customer can choose to extend the contract with upgrading the existing lighting or opt for new lighting. Luminaires can be returned to us for reuse or recycling. The specially developed sustainable Philips luminaires, which hang in an attractive pattern in the transfer hall above the passenger’ heads, comply with the stringent requirements of the circular economy concept. These luminaires have been specifically designed to allow fast and easy repair or replacement.
Circular lighting
