Over the past 15 years, OSRAM SYLVANIA's packaging department has aggressively pursued source reduction strategies, reducing the thickness and combined weight of both primary and secondary packaging for all of our products.
Ninety-five percent of SYLVANIA packaging comes from renewable resources, and 90% of high-volume packaging is made from post-consumer or post-industrial recycled materials. Virtually all of our lamp packaging is recyclable.

Many of our fluorescent products packaged with 100% recycled paperboard. The corrugated outer paperboard packaging contains 30% recycled content, and the egg crate trays are made with 100% recycled paper pulp.

Halogen PAR 38 products are packaged using between 35% and 90% recycled material, including up to 31% post-consumer waste.
HID products are packaged with lamp wrappers, inner folding cartons, and outer boxes, made with between 25% and 100% recycled materials. |
