ETAP wins gold with sustainable lighting solutions

May 12, 2026 | From the editors

ETAP Lighting has recently the prestigious Ecodesign by OVAM Gold Award received. This is recognition for their innovative approach to sustainability in the lighting industry. With this recognition, they demonstrate ETAP that sustainability and innovation in the lighting industry can go hand in hand.

The jury praised ETAP for its progressive strategy and emphasis on upgrading existing installations. This approach responds to the growing demand for sustainable and energy-efficient solutions. By investing in circular business models, the company took a step towards a more sustainable future.

With the introduction of the concept “Circular Light as a Service” (C-LaaS) offers ETAP Not just lighting, but a complete service. Customers rent lighting systems together with maintenance, which contributes to a longer lifespan of the products. This model is based on three circular principles: sustainability, ease of maintenance, and waste minimization.

The history of ETAP dates back to 1949, when the company started repairing electric motors for shipping. Since then, it has continued ETAP focusing on functional lighting, with a wide range that is now fully based on LED technology.
