A brighter future, one light at a time
Ayrton is committed to building sustainability into every fixture, technology, and experience we create, enabling our customers to share in this mission each day.
Even the smallest adjustments can shine brightly when we work together.
This is how we light the path to a sustainable future.
Reducing our impact
Eco-friendly materials
Every product is made with eco-friendly, certified metals — durability that cares for the earth.
CO₂ Missions Reports
With Greenly’s support, we completed CO₂ emissions reports for 2021 & 2022 — a key step toward meaningful reductions.
Biodegradable
Our pallets and pallet wraps are biodegradable — protecting products while caring for the planet.
Robust Plastic Pallets
We use sturdy plastic pallets that handle shipping and storage efficiently while reducing waste over time.
Glass & Flasks
We’ve replaced single-use plastics with glass bottles and reusable flasks since 2018.
FSC / PEFC
Our FSC® / PEFC™ certified boxes and paper are 100% recyclable — please give them a new life.
Recycling
At our office, plastic, glass, paper, and other waste are carefully recycled to reduce landfill.
Local suppliers
We work with trusted local suppliers for our events, supporting nearby businesses and reducing our carbon footprint.

Ayrton’s total carbon emissions in 2023
Carbon from Materials & Use
How We Calculate Product Carbon Emissions
1. Embodied carbon
This includes the main materials used in the fixture (7 key components), the packaging (inner and outer), and the final assembly process. Emission factors are based on standard databases like ecoinvent and ADEME Base Carbone.
2. Operational carbon
This is based on how much energy the product uses during its lifetime. We estimate usage hours, average power output, and apply each country’s 2023 electricity emission factors to calculate the total operational impact.
Emission Progress
Compared to 2022
From 2022 to 2023, Ayrton reduced its emission intensity per revenue by 19%, proving that growth can go hand in hand with lower carbon impact.
Emissions from product use fell by 15%
Emissions from freight fell by 26%
Emissions from product purchases rose by 7%
Next Steps
Continue yearly carbon accounting with a standard process.
Conduct life cycle assessment of our products, studying key emission sources in greater depth.
Raise awareness of our colleagues through workshops and trainings.
Engage our supplier in China in carbon accounting and management.
