Skinflint, a UK-based lighting supplier of regenerative lamps has launched a repurchase service that provides for repurchasing products from customers at the end of use.
Cornfl, UK-based skinflint provides lighting for bars, restaurants, hotels, workplaces and private homes around the world. The company purchases them from abandoned factories across Europe, refurbishes them and tests them for electrical safety before putting them on the market.
Now, the company announced that when these products are no longer needed after the project is refurbished, it will pay a considerable residual value fee to recover these products.
The company’s co-founder Chris Miller said: “What we do at skinflint is based on respecting and protecting every piece of work. We have three guiding principles: saving the best lighting of the 1920s to 1970s without compromising its characteristics Under the premise, every item is sensitively restored and every luminaire is refurbished in accordance with the highest modern standards. “
Miller believes that his company can set the example of a circular economy for the lighting industry, where products and materials are reused in the lighting industry.
“For us, recycling an old lamp means keeping the essence of the original lamp intact, but you can count on it to work perfectly and safely every day.”
“Therefore, we restore and use as many of the original components as possible. In addition to the bulb holders, wires, and suspension chains, we often retain those visible signs of the age that suggest the original story of the bulb: where, when, How it’s made and used. “
“So we are always looking for waste lighting with classic industrial quality. For example, access to the Pirelli warehouse and Cockenzie power station means that we can rescue dozens of antique lamps that might have been lost. We often make purchases in other countries Highlights were found during the trip, and at the same time, close attention was paid to reconstruction and demolition near his hometown, “he said.
