This luminaire supplier launched a buyback program to repurchase discarded products.

英国一家再生灯具的照明供应商推出了一项回购服务，服务规定在使用结束时从客户手中回购产品。

Skinflint, headquartered in Cornwall, UK, provides lighting equipment for bars, restaurants, hotels, workplaces, and private homes worldwide. The company sources these from abandoned factories across Europe, refurbishes them, conducts electrical safety tests, and then releases them to the market.

Now, the company announces that when these products are no longer needed after project refurbishment, it will pay a substantial residual value fee to recover them.

公司联合创始人Chris Miller表示：“我们在skinflint所做的工作是基于尊重和保护每件作品。我们有三个指导原则：挽救20世纪20年代到70年代最好的照明，在不损害其特性的前提下，对每一件物品进行敏感的修复，并按照最高的现代标准对每个灯具进行翻新。”

Miller believes his company can set an example of a circular economy for the lighting industry—where products and materials are reused within the lighting sector.

"For us, recycling an old lamp means preserving the essence of the original lamp intact, yet you can rely on it to work perfectly and safely every day."

“因此，我们尽可能多地恢复和使用原来的元件，除了灯泡座、电线和悬挂链，我们也常常保留那些暗示着灯泡最初故事的可见的年代标志：它最初是在什么地方、什么时候、怎样制造和使用的。”

"So we have been looking for discarded lighting with a classic industrial quality. For example, we can access the Pirelli warehouse and Cockenzie power station, which means we can rescue dozens of antique lamps that might otherwise be lost. We often find highlights during procurement trips to other countries, while also keeping a close watch on reconstruction and demolition projects near our hometown," he said.
