Stickbulb

Sustainability Story

The first Stickbulb prototypes were made in 2012 from a pile of scrap wood destined for the landfill. This moment defined our philosophy of making more light with less waste. Since that day we have constructed our LED fixtures out of wood from sustainably managed forests and locally demolished buildings, including dismantled NYC water towers. Much of our innovation is invisible - making LCA-driven tweaks to our supply chain, piloting new and sustainable material sources, or investing in more power efficient sub-components.

What is Climate Neutrality

A state in which human activities result in no net effect on the climate system. Requires balancing of residual greenhouse gas emissions with reductions or removals. All Climate Neutral Certified brands must meet climate neutrality standards for measuring, offsetting, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions from making and delivering products and services.

This certification covers business activities and operations for the following brands :

No items found.

Stickbulb achieved Climate Neutral Certification as part of 's certification process. 's measurement, offsetting and reduction plans fully account for Stickbulb's 2021 emissions

01 Measure

Stickbulb measured Scope 1, 2 and 3 cradle-to-customer emissions following categories and approaches established in the Climate Neutral standards.

GHG Scope 1

GHG Protocol Scope 1

Emissions from energy used in buildings, fleets, and equipment.

19 tCO2e

8 tCO2e

GHG Scope 3

GHG Protocol Scope 3

Emissions from raw materials, manufacturing, shipping, air travel, and other activities in the supply chain.

209 tCO2e

Total Emissions

Total Carbon Emissions

The sum of Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions.

235 tCO2e

02 Offset

Stickbulb invested in projects outside of their value chain to compensate for all of their measured carbon emissions. This step supports their climate neutrality designation, and enables Stickbulb to take responsibility for historical emissions that can’t be reduced.

Total Investment in Carbon Credits

$2,820.00

Stickbulb's credits came from:

Emissions Offset

Offset equivalency

For reference, reducing a footprint by 1000 tonnes is roughly equal to removing 230 passenger vehicles from the road for a year.

235 tCO2e

Lifetime Emissions Offsets

tCO2e

03 Reduce

Stickbulb has set targets and identified actions to reduce their emissions from operations and their supply chain. These actions will enable Stickbulb to emit fewer emissions in the future.

Mid Term Targets

Stickbulb has committed to reducing 2021 emissions 50% by 2030.

This target is aligned with global trajectories to limit climate warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius.

Mid Term Targets

This target is aligned with global trajectories to limit climate warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius.

Reduction Actions

Stickbulb is implementing a Reduction Action Plan to reduce emissions from within its own operations and supply chain.

Current Year Reduction Actions

What We’re Reducing

We plan to reduce the amount of drivers needed to power our larger fixtures. In turn, this will reduce the amount of metal needed in the canopies that hold the drivers.

How We'll Reduce It

We will redesign our electrical systems for greater efficiency. This will not only help reduce material volume as noted above, but also reduce emissions during the use-phase of the fixtures.

What We’re Reducing

We plan to reduce emissions by increasing the percentage of recycled wood material used in our products.

How We'll Reduce It

We will pilot the use of salvaged Pin Oak from NYC’s urban forest as a hyper-local alternative to virgin-cut red oak.
