Brilliance in Sustainability: Axil and Thorlux Illuminate the Path to Waste Excellence

After a year of collaboration, Axil and Thorlux Lighting have extended their
partnership, driven by a shared mission to enhance environmental performance and
sustainability. This commitment underscores their focus on reducing waste,
improving recycling efforts, and minimising their impact on the environment.

• Axil and Thorlux Lighting extend partnership.
• A strategic pact to reduce waste and elevate recycling.
• UK manufacturer’s sustainability mission accelerates with Axil’s Total
  waste management expertise.
  Established in 1936, Thorlux operates from a modern 16,882 m² self-contained
  factory in Redditch, Worcestershire. The Thorlux brand is well known throughout the
  world, providing a comprehensive range of professional lighting and control systems.
  Thorlux proudly manufactures over 90% of its products in the UK, reflecting its
  dedication to local production and a reduced carbon footprint. Together with Axil,
  they envision a sustainable future built on mutual values and shared goals.
  Axil’s mission to eliminate waste costs aligns with Thorlux’s dedication to
  environmental responsibility. Recognising the imperative to minimise ecological
  impact, both organisations are embarking on a comprehensive waste reduction
  strategy.
  Key objectives include:
• Preventing waste through enhanced recycling
• Achieving recycling excellence with initiatives like cardboard and plastic baling
• Eliminating landfill waste through revised processes.
• Exploring returnable packaging and minimising shrink wrap and pallet usage.
• Optimising metal extraction and responsible disposal of PCB boards.
  Since 2012, Thorlux has been independently certified as carbon neutral and
  continues to exceed environmental standards. Their dedication is evident in adopting
  circular, sustainable production methods, self-generating renewable energy, and
  spearheading carbon offsetting initiatives like afforestation projects.
  Last month, Thorlux had had its carbon reduction plan validated by the Science
  Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) under the Net Zero Standard, committing to achieve
  net zero status by 2040, well ahead of the UK’s 2050 target.
  Axil Contract Manager, Jamie Georgiou said: “We are excited to continue our
  partnership with Thorlux and support their goal of achieving net zero status by 2040.
  By continually assessing waste streams and using data-driven decisions, we
  minimise environmental impact. We pride ourselves on excellent customer service
  and a collaborative approach to environmental excellence. Together, we are setting anew standard for sustainability in manufacturing with practical solutions for today and
  the future.”
  Thorlux’s commitment to sustainability and Axil’s core values of Partnership, Integrity,
  Teamwork, and Environmental Stewardship come together in this partnership.
  Beyond just reducing waste, their collaboration is dedicated to responsible decision-
  making and a more efficient, circular economy.
