COMMON PROBLEM
Emergency situations require reliable visibility solutions, but traditional glow sticks create unnecessary waste when they expire unused. When used in disaster responses, they leave behind plastic and chemical waste in already vulnerable areas.
RESOLUTION
What if emergency preparedness could be both effective and environmentally responsible? The Lume offers a sustainable solution for emergency lighting. Its reusable design means it doesn't expire like traditional glow sticks, making it a more reliable option for emergency kits. In the event of use, it doesn't leave behind harmful waste, which is particularly important in environmentally sensitive disaster areas.
A single natural disaster response could involve the use of 15,000 glow sticks—that's 3 kgs of plastic, 2 L of harmful chemicals, and 1 kg CO2.
