Sustainable by conviction
Anyone who really wants to go down a sustainable path with their company is not guided by a trend or by the increased external interest, combined with the "compulsion" to give this topic the necessary importance. Rather, sustainability must be an inner drive – an ideology which, as at JB-Lighting, has been deeply rooted in the entire company since its foundation.

As early as the planning and construction of our first own premises in 1990, we sent out a clear signal for more sustainability in environmental protection – by using natural resources as sparingly as possible and by maximising personal responsibility, ecology and self-sufficiency. For example, the first of three photovoltaic systems was installed at the same time as the new building. For many years, JB-Lighting has now a PV system that generates more electricity per year than we need for our entire production. So, it should be no surprise that eMobility was introduced at JB years ago and that there are currently several vehicles with electric or hybrid drive in the fleet.
When the new warehouse was built in 2024, another 200m³ cistern was installed, which can now be used to collect a total of 400,000 litres of rainwater. The collected cistern water is used on the one hand for our entire service water supply. On the other hand, it is also used for all rinsing processes in production, with the washing machine and for watering the entire garden. JB-Lighting not only saves clean drinking water, but also heats in an environmentally friendly way. The waste heat of a neighbouring biogas plant is used for this and is completely CO2-neutral.
In addition to the use of natural, regenerative energies, we want to contribute to the ecological balance with an extensive reuse and recycling concept.
SUSTAINABLY SAFEGUARDING RAW MATERIALS
We can reduce production waste to a minimum as a result of optimised planning. In addition, at JB, the resource-saving and responsible handling of raw materials includes the separation and collection of all kinds of "waste" – including old equipment that we take back, dismantle into individual parts and then recycle externally.
Among other things, we collect glass, aluminium, steel, waste wood, cardboard boxes/paper, batteries, electrical scrap and data carriers such as CD-ROMs, residual waste etc. and pass this on to external partners for professional recycling – organic waste is composted at JB.
