Recycled Aluminum Lighting Fixtures

Vode Lighting has become the first North American brand to integrate Hydro CIRCAL, a premium recycled aluminum, into its products. Hydro CIRCAL is made with at least 75% recycled post-consumer scrap and boasts the lowest carbon footprint in the aluminum industry, emitting just 1.9 kg CO₂ or less per kilogram of aluminum produced. By adopting this low-carbon material, Vode Lighting aims to reduce emissions, enhance supply chain resilience, and contribute to a circular U.S. economy. The company has already transitioned its top-selling product line, ZipTwo, to Hydro CIRCAL and plans to extend this sustainable shift across its entire product range.

The integration of Hydro CIRCAL aligns with Vode Lighting's long-term design philosophy of reduction and simplification. The company emphasizes the importance of considering the full lifecycle of its products, from initial design to final delivery. By using recycled aluminum, Vode Lighting not only reduces its embodied carbon footprint but also meets the growing consumer demand for more sustainably produced products. This move reflects Vode Lighting's commitment to creating environmentally conscious lighting solutions and sets a precedent for other U.S. manufacturers to make greener choices.
