Welcome to the new Low Energy Light Bulbs Recycling section. Here you will find facts, recycling symbols, advice and tips to help you recycle-more and minimise your effect on the environment!
Low energy light bulbs can substantially reduce your annual electricity
bill, and last on average up to 12 times longer than ordinary light
bulbs.
Furthermore, low energy light bulbs need less energy, which means that
they're responsible for fewer greenhouse gas emissions and are better
for the environment than tungsten (traditional) light bulbs.
There
are many different types of low
energy bulbs. All of which can be taken to recycling points. Some of
the low energy light bulb types are listed as follows:
