Production and products
SG Armaturen makes quality products that provide energy-efficient lighting with a long service life. We work actively to reduce material consumption in products and packaging, and are increasingly using recycled raw materials.
More than 1600 products with EPD
EPD stands for Environmental Product Declarations and is a document that addresses the environmental aspects of the life cycle of a product, component or service. EPDs are designed according to objective criteria in ISO standards. The method makes it possible to compare the environmental information of products within the same category, regardless of country.
We use recycled materials
Design and product development take place at our offices in Denmark and Norway. This is where decisions are made that affect the product's lifespan, whether it is easy to pack and transport, whether it can be repaired, whether resources can be recycled and how much becomes waste.
As far as possible, we choose recycled materials with low weight. Junistar Bio, launched in 2023, is made from biocircular material and has 40% less material than a comparable product. We try as far as we can to avoid plastic. We wrap our products in cardboard and paper, and ensure that they are packaged so that they take up little space on a pallet and in a container.
We contribute to the phasing out of fluorescent lamps
This is described in the Ecodesign Directive 2019/2020/EU and the RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU, and takes place in combination with the major developments in LED technology. Our industry has a central role in the green shift by getting hazardous substances out of circulation and improving lighting to reduce energy consumption. New technology is much more energy efficient, so switching to new solutions is both more financially profitable and better for the environment. At SG, we have focused on developing tools and information to clarify the benefits of new solutions and the opportunities they offer.
We focus on energy efficiency
LED technology has been a revolution when it comes to lumens per watt - or light for money. In addition, the smart energy management capabilities enabled by new technology, such as sensors and dimming, make it easier to adapt the light to the customer's needs. When you switch from old fluorescent fixtures to our new LED fixtures, energy consumption can be significantly reduced. You can estimate the savings using our conversion configurator.
SG Armaturen works closely with our subcontractors on LED modules and LED drivers to provide our customers with the best solutions. The lifetime has also become much longer, a modern LED luminaire lasts from 50-100,000 hours, in practice more than 25 years.
