Our sustainability mission For a healthy and green environment
Sustainability is playing an increasingly important role in various aspects of our daily lives, including swimming pool lighting. In our vision strategy, sustainability is a significant component of our corporate activities. For us, sustainability is a guiding principle for all developments and decisions throughout the entire company process. And because our favourite elements, LIGHT and WATER, are valuable assets and decisive factors for a healthy and green environment, our Wibre Sustainable Mission was created. This mission includes sustainable and constantly optimising the processes of our entire company and our products.
REFIT - Retrofitting for sustainability
The ReFit area is an integral part of our sustainability mission. Despite very long life cycles, we guarantee an uncomplicated changeover to more sustainable products. This is quick and easy and allows a high degree of customisation.
REUSE - Reprocess & reuse
Why throw away what's really good? Our products withstand the most adverse conditions and last for decades. And then we refit them, replace components and create even more environmentally friendly solutions. Made possible by our customised production and quality craftsmanship.
We turn old into new
In many cases, an old or defective headlight does not have to be disposed of, but is completely refurbished and the LED board converted to sustainable new technology. This also applies to very old products and small quantities.
Use even after decades
After years of use, our stainless steel installation housings for new swimming pool floodlights can still be used again without having to be removed.
RECYCLE - Cycle for reuse
Recycling is the best way to dispose of old products. The main component of our floodlights, stainless steel, is completely recycled as a high-quality raw material. All other parts, production-related rejects and waste materials are also fed into the recycling loop.
Sustainable cycle
The cycle of all materials is under the umbrella of sustainability.
Every area of the company acts in favour of an intact cycle for reuse and recycling.
REDUCE - Reducing the CO2 footprint
Our quality always points upwards, in other areas we focus on minimisation. We shorten transport routes, reduce packaging and also the light that illuminates the night sky. With increasingly paperless administration, an electric fleet and self-generated electricity, we are significantly reducing our CO2 footprint.
We make architecture visible and still want to make a valuable contribution against light pollution. With specifically directed light, swivelling spotlights, special beam characteristics for pools and smart controls to direct as little artificial light as possible into the atmosphere.
The shipping process and our packaging are constantly scrutinised for sustainability and are becoming increasingly climate-friendly. Through constant optimisation, we are reducing the amount of recyclable cardboard and plastic packaging to a minimum.
We have everything in one place: development, production, warehouse, sales and purchasing. The majority of our suppliers are based in the region. This is a deliberate choice on our part to ensure short and therefore climate-friendly transport routes. This also ensures quality and permanent supply.
WIBRE
For over 100 years, WIBRE has stood for the highest quality and products for challenging environments. As pioneers in underwater lighting, we set standards and go far beyond the required norms. This enables us to create a service life that is unrivalled. And long use is the best sustainability.
