The innovative lighting manufacturer that puts sustainability front and center has augmented the award-winning Coil and Ocean Coil collections with Clear Coil, “100% molecularly recycled fixtures that embody LightArt’s expertise and commitment to innovative design and responsible manufacturing.”What is molecular recycling, you say? Glad you asked. Traditional recycling can only go so far before the plastic is degraded to a point that it’s no longer useful. In molecular recycling, complex polymers are broken down into simpler molecules, allowing reincorporation of plastics that are typically difficult to recycle, like clothing and carpet fibers, dense plastic containers, and packaging. The upshot is the commercial lighting industry’s first clear, 100% recycled, 3D-printed pendants.The new collection features six shapes. Dubbed M1, M2, etc…, these are geometric and organically inspired pendants that vary from funnel shapes to beehives to alluring, elongated silhouettes that are elegant and versatile.Clear Coil not only represents an achievement in recycling technology but an aesthetic coup too: these are the first high-recycled content fixtures with a uniformly transparent resin, “emphasizing angles and shapes that enhance the material’s clarity and internal light refraction.”All in all it’s a win-win: Clear Coil’s pioneering technology not only allows for achievement of new aesthetic heights, but also facilitates an increased amount of recycled material—expanding the potential of recycled plastic, further ameliorating the use of virgin materials, and accordingly reducing waste.Check out LightArt to know more.
