Even the best OSRAM lamps eventually “burn out”. So the question is, what happens with burned out fluorescent lamps?
Back in 1981, OSRAM found a solution to this problem that it calls the Cap Separation Process. Using this process, for the first time it was possible to recycle virtually all the substances in old fluorescent lamps. When it comes to lamps from the LUMILUX-PLUS product generation, today all of the fluorescent substances can be recycled, along with all the glass and aluminium. Recycling makes sense because it takes a relatively large amount of energy to manufacture these substances.
