SUSTAINABILITY: European-Green-Deal
🚛 Cut CO₂ without compromise – this is how retrofit should be done.
LightnTec replaces bulky LED walls with ultra-light, ultra-thin LED foils – saving not just materials, but tons of CO₂:
🔹 >80% less transport emissions when imported from Asia
🔹 >98% CO₂ savings with local production in Karlsruhe
🔹 10× more surface area per container at just 1/6 the weight per sqm
Why does it matter?
Because every ton of CO₂ saved counts – for ESG reporting, for credible green claims, and for real sustainability. Less volume. Less weight. Less CO₂. At the same time: more surface, more flexibility, less hassle with permits.
AND THIS IS JUST TRANSPORT!
•No material savings counted.
•No lifetime energy efficiency (Watt-per-lumen) counted.
•No easier recycling counted.
•This is what real impact looks like.
