Many companies talk about sustainability, but at Anglepoise we’re building it into our product and our culture.  

We let go of anything that isn’t enduring. And it all starts with our lights. An Anglepoise lamp is designed to be a lifelong companion – not only as a piece of classic design, but as a useful addition to your life that is used and enjoyed every single day.  

We are the first to say that we are not perfect but we are on a journey; to be better today than yesterday. It’s part of our Abandon Darkness philosophy. 

We now carry more than 60 spare parts, so if your Anglepoise breaks, we will do our very best to repair it. We also re-engineer spare parts from discontinued designs, so that lamps that are almost 80 years old can still shine as brightly as the day they were made. At the moment, most spares are sent from the UK; the next challenge is to match this level of availability in other parts of the globe, starting with the US and EU.

We’ve made huge steps forward in the last few years with our packaging, which is now 95% plastic-free (we’re working on the other 5%).

Polystyrene has been consigned to the past, thankfully, and the cardboard we use is recyclable. We have swapped single use plastic bags for compostable ones (these provide a protective barrier for parts of our lamp when they are in transit). We are aware that there can be issues with reusing compostable bags and can only advise you to check policies for these bags in your local area. 

Lamp screws and any supplied tools now come in a kraft paper envelope or, with some lamps, simply slot into the boxes themselves.   

*we’ve removed polystyrene packaging from our factories but there may still be lamps in stores or warehouses that have the old packaging for a while yet.
