Bæredygtighed begynder ofte med et enkelt spørgsmål: Hvad er den fremstillet af? For Wrapped er svaret en trio af materialer, der hver især fortæller deres egen miljøhistorie.
Solid Board: en velkendt ven
Hos Fagerhult stiftede vi første gang bekendtskab med Solid Board i 2021 med Multilume Re:Think. Men med Wrapped er vi gået et skridt videre. Materialet består af en trelagskonstruktion med en 100 % genanvendt kerne, et vedvarende FSC-certificeret toplag og en tynd, beskyttende plastfilm. Resultatet er et materiale, der er 65 % genanvendt – og som giver en 89 % reduktion i CO₂-udledning sammenlignet med ny ekstruderet aluminium.
Wrapped er fremstillet af organisk Solid Board, post-consumer genbrugsaluminium og post-consumer genbrugsplast.
Nytænkning af plast
Plast er ofte et varmt emne, når det handler om bæredygtighed. Men ikke al plast er ens. Wrapped anvender post-consumer genbrugsplast – plast, der allerede har haft et liv, måske som en shampoo-flaske eller fødevareemballage. Det adskiller sig fra pre-consumer plast, som aldrig er nået ud til forbrugeren.
"Ved at vælge genbrugsplast af samme høje kvalitet har vi reduceret klimapåvirkningen med 56 %. En lille komponent – men et stort statement." Josefin Carlsson, Sustainability Specialist hos Fagerhult
Aluminium med en fortid
Wrapped indeholder to strukturelle komponenter fremstillet af 100 % post-consumer genbrugsaluminium. en del af en cirkulær infrastruktur, der måske endda tidligere har været en del af et Notor-armatur. Sammenlignet med nyproduceret aluminium reducerer dette valg udledningen med 83 %.
Design med mindre – bygget til at holde
Bæredygtighed handler ikke kun om, hvad du bruger – men også hvor meget. Med sine kun 900 mm er Wrapped kortere end en konventionel pendel på 1200 mm. Alene denne reduktion i størrelse reducerer klimapåvirkningen med 25 % uden at gå på kompromis med armaturets lysydelse.
Josefin Carlsson sammenligner produkters klimapåvirkning i Fagerhults Experience Centre i Habo.
For at forstå, hvor langt vi er nået med Wrapped, må vi se på, hvor vi begyndte.
- I 2021 Notor 65 – fremstillet af ny aluminium – en klimapåvirkning på 34 kg CO₂e.
- I 2024 med 75 % genbrugsaluminium blev dette reduceret til 25 kg CO₂e.
- I dag Wrapped ligger omkring 12 kg CO₂e.
"Det er en tredjedel af den oprindelige Notor 65 og halvdelen af den nuværende version, en stille revolution målt i kilo CO₂e," siger Josefin Carlsson.
Efter sin lange levetid – anslået til 100.000 timer – er Wrapped klar til en lige så bæredygtig exit. Konstruktionen gør den let at skille ad, så alle materialer kan genbruges og genanvendes i den cirkulære økonomi.

Fagerhult introduces the world’s first premium pendant luminaire made of cardboard
The new Fagerhult luminaire Wrapped is designed and made in Sweden – and combines premium lighting, high efficiency, and low weight with being the company’s most climate-friendly, premium luminaire to date.Wrapped’s luminaire body is made of organic recycled cardboard – Solid board – which has 89% less climate impact per kilogram than aluminium. The few details made of plastic and metal are also sourced from recycled post-consumer materials. The result is a pendant luminaire with minimised environmental impact throughout, without compromising on light quality or design. “By choosing Solid board, we’re stretching the idea that a pendant luminaire must be made of aluminium. We simply asked ourselves: Can we use another renewable and recycled material that is part of an established circular infrastructure?” says Christer Liljegren, Product Manager at Fagerhult.Sustainability meets affordabilityWrapped combines premium lighting performance with a favorable price point – and makes sustainable lighting solutions available to a wider audience. The lighter choice of material also enabled a total weight of 1.6 kilograms (Pendant, 900 mm).“I think the installers will appreciate Wrapped just as much as we do. It really is surprisingly light and easy to handle,” says Christer Liljegren.The launch includes Wrapped Pendant 900 mm. The low amount of material makes it a truly sustainable choice as it performs just as good as a general 1200 mm luminaire in many applications. It is available with the Beta Opti louvre and has a 50/50 direct and indirect light distribution – and maintains excellent visual ergonomics. The product family will be expanded with additional variants in 2026.Continuing a legacy of sustainable innovationWrapped builds on Fagerhult’s innovative work with sustainable materials, following the Multilume Re:Think (also made of Solid board) and the Kvisten wooden luminaire.“Wrapped embodies our idea of light for a brighter tomorrow – combining premium lighting with sustainability at an accessible level,” says Paula Backman, Product and Marketing Director at Fagerhult.

Fagerhult uses recycled aluminium for high-volume products — ensuring circular use of resources
With a focus on reducing its long-term greenhouse gas emissions, Fagerhult now choose extruded aluminium profiles containing 75% recycled material from end users. The material is used for product families manufactured and sold in larger volumes — and where the material can make a real difference. The initiative reduces Fagerhult’s climate footprint by approximately 225 tons of CO2e per year.Aluminium is a lightweight and durable material that can be reused multiple times if recycled properly. Its environmental impact depends on several factors, including whether it is made from virgin aluminium, how it is produced, whether fossil fuels or renewable energy sources were used in its production, and if it is derived from recycled materials.Niclas Thulin is Sustainability Manager at Fagerhult:“We are taking a significant step forward by moving from renewably sourced aluminium to recycled aluminium (post consumer). The Notor family – together with several other product families – is now made of extruded aluminium that is 75% recycled. This results in around 70% lower climate impact than the average impact from European primary aluminium and 88% lower than the global average for primary aluminium*.”The change affects products sold in larger volumes. The products Notor 65, Notor Recessed, Notor 36, Fjord, Vil, Multilume Hydro, and Sentra are now made of recycled aluminium.“We intentionally upgrade the materials for our larger product series because it significantly impacts Fagerhult's greenhouse gas emissions. For the Notor family alone, we used approximately 65 kilometres of aluminium profiles in 2024, and nearly all of this volume has now been replaced with recycled material,” says Niclas Thulin.The change is part of Fagerhult's systematic sustainability work and a considerable step in reducing greenhouse gas emissions in Scope 3: the company's indirect emissions from purchased materials. The Science Based Targets validate Fagerhult's climate targets, and the ambition is to achieve net zero emissions from the entire value chain by 2045.“This is our most important decision regarding materials, at least with reduced climate impact as the fundamental incentive. The majority of our emissions come from Scope 3, and through this change, we are making a difference where it has the greatest impact. Based on last year's volumes, the switch to recycled aluminium can reduce emissions by approximately 225 tons of carbon dioxide equivalents annually.”*Climate impact excluding the extrusion process.
