Lumascape
Goes Plastic-Free
Lumascape is making significant strides toward becoming a more sustainable company by replacing its traditional, plastic packaging materials with eco-friendly alternatives. This transition includes replacing plastic tape with paper tape, bubble wrap with crinkled paper, plastic product accessory bags with paper bags, plastic pallet wrap with new bio-pallet wrap, and larger, plastic air pillows with a paper-based solution. Additionally, the company no longer uses polystyrene for its preinstallation kits and large fittings, instead opting for cardboard and paper alternatives.
By eliminating plastic from its packaging and adopting more sustainable alternatives, Lumascape has bolstered its broader commitment to reducing its environmental impact, tackling pollution caused by harmful microplastics and other plastic waste, and protecting the environment — all while supporting its long-term goals of achieving product circularity and embodied carbon reduction.
