Printing plates find a second life in light
Fagerhult, SDEA member · 8 September 2026
Fagerhult is giving used printing plates a second life as structural components inside its new Wrapped luminaires, where they provide insulation, earthing and stability. The company describes it as industrial symbiosis, with waste from one industry becoming raw material for another.
“We need to be open throughout the entire chain and to dare to look beyond our own industry,” said Niclas Thulin.
