Recyclable products and ecological innovation

Our products are designed for a greener future:

Exceptional recyclability: the aluminium body is 79% recyclable, the caps made of zamak are 95% recyclable, as are cables, ropes, accessories, springs and screws. Even the reflectors achieve 90% recyclability, making 95% of our luminaires totally recyclable.

Environmentally friendly painting: we use chemical-free paints to reduce environmental impact.

Sustainable innovation: we continually invest in research into greener components and improve the design of our products to make them lighter and composed of fewer materials, while maintaining high performance.

Sustainable packaging

Our commitment to sustainability is also reflected in our packaging. We have reduced the size of our packaging by optimising our products to minimise material use and environmental impact.

You won't find plastic in our packaging: we only use cardboard made from recycled paper from used pulp, without using plant-derived cellulose.

Our packaging contains no colouring, maintaining a practical and natural essential design, strictly Made in Italy.

With these choices, we continue to reduce waste and promote a sustainable production model.

Side's sustainable communication paves the way for the digital future

SIDE S.P.A. also promotes sustainability in its communication, using recycled paper for brochures and catalogues, but above all encouraging the use of digital materials.

We developed a B2B app that facilitates access to catalogues, price lists and information, reducing the need for printing and thus contributing to CO2 savings.

Through the use of QR codes and online platforms, we encourage employees and customers to choose innovative and environmentally friendly solutions.

For environmentally friendly lighting to protect the night sky

Dark Sky is a regulation that aims to protect the night sky by reducing light pollution. This preserves ecosystems, improves quality of life and encourages astronomical observation.

SIDE S.P.A.'s commitment to Dark Sky:

1. Efficient lighting:
Our luminaires are designed to minimise light pollution, using LEDs with appropriate intensity and lenses/optics for the controlled distribution of light (thus preventing it from scattering into the sky).

2. Monitoring:
We carry out continuous and regular checks to ensure that our products are in line with Dark Sky standards, making improvements where necessary. We believe that every small gesture can contribute to a brighter future, respecting our planet and preserving the beauty of the night sky for future generations.
