Bærekraft starter ofte med et enkelt spørsmål: Hva er produktet laget av? For Wrapped er svaret en kombinasjon av tre materialer som alle har sin egen miljøhistorie.
Solid Board – en velkjent venn
I Fagerhult møtte vi Solid Board for første gang i 2021 med Multilume Re:Think. Men for Wrapped har vi tatt det ett skritt lenger. Materialet består av en trelagskonstruksjon med 100 % resirkulert kjerne, et fornybart FSC-sertifisert topplag og en tynn beskyttende plastfilm. Det gir et materiale som er 65 % resirkulert – og en reduksjon i CO₂-utslipp på 89 % sammenlignet med ny ekstrudert aluminium.
Wrapped er laget av organisk Solid Board, resirkulert aluminium og resirkulert plast.
Plast på en ny måte
Plast er ofte et populært tema i samtaler om bærekraft. Men ikke all plast er lik. Wrapped bruker resirkulert plast som har levd et liv før, kanskje som en sjampoflaske eller matboks. Ny plast er annerledes, siden den aldri har vært innom butikkhyllen.
«Ved å velge resirkulert plast av samme kvalitet har vi redusert klimapåvirkningen med 56 %. Det er en liten komponent, men den har stor betydning.» Josefin Carlsson, Sustainability Specialist hos Fagerhult
Aluminium med en fortid
På innsiden av Wrapped er to strukturelle komponenter laget av 100 % resirkulert aluminium. Dette materialet er også en del av en sirkulær infrastruktur, og det kan til og med ha vært en del av en Notor-armatur en gang i tiden. Sammenlignet med ny aluminium reduserer dette valget utslippene med 83 %.
Designet med mindre – utviklet for å vare
Men bærekraft handler ikke bare om hva man bruker, det handler også om hvor mye man bruker av det. Med sine 900 mm er Wrapped kortere enn en tradisjonell armatur på 1200 mm for pendlet montering. Bare denne reduksjonen i størrelse reduserer klimapåvirkningen med 25 %, uten at det går på bekostning av armaturens effekt.
Josefin Carlsson sammenligner produkters klimapåvirkning i Fagerhults Experience Centre i Habo.
For å forstå effekten av Wrapped er det lurt å se på hvor vi startet.
- I 2021 hadde Notor 65 – som ble laget av ny aluminium – en klimapåvirkning på 34 kg CO₂e.
- I 2024, med 75 % resirkulert aluminium, var dette tallet redusert til 25 kg CO₂e.
- I dag ligger Wrapped på rundt 12 kg CO₂e.
«Det er en tredjedel av den opprinnelige Notor 65 og halvparten av dagens versjon – en stille revolusjon målt i kilo CO₂e», sier Josefin Carlsson.
Etter sin lange levetid – som er anslått til å være 100 000 timer – er Wrapped klar for en like bærekraftig avslutning. Designen gjør den enkel å demontere, og hvert enkelt materiale kan resirkuleres og klargjøres for neste kapittel i den sirkulære økonomien.

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.
