OUR PURPOSE
AN ILLUMINATED CARESS We seek to be the light that caresses you the exact moment you walk in the door. The first thing you turn on. The thing that reassures you. The light that makes you feel safe, that warms your heart, that lets you sigh in relief. That light that every time it’s on, you remember the embrace of the one person you’ve loved the most in this life.

A LARGE COLLECTION OF UNIQUE MATERIALS
Slamp’s technopolymers are RESISTANT, LIGHTWEIGHT, AND LONG-LASTING, giving our designers the freedom to create shapes and embellishments that other materials like glass or metal won’t allow. Slamp’s materials SHINE thanks to the addition of glass crystals that give the unique products a GLOSSY GLOW. Don’t forget that Slamp doesn’t use injection or rotational moulds, instead opting for printing and cold cutting technopolymers that have been extruded into thin sheets, a choice in line with the company’s Eco-sustainable culture.

DID YOU KNOW... Goldflex® isn’t painted, but saturated with a metallic finish using hyperbaric vaporisation? Cristalflex® is more transparent than glass (95% instead of 93%)? Curious about each technopolymer’s particular characteristics?

TECHNOPOLYMERS REPRESENT ENGINEERING EXCELLENCE THEY ARE FLEXIBLE, RESISTANT, AND DURABLE. THEY HAVE OPTIMAL THERMAL, ELECTRIC, AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES. THEY’VE REVOLUTIONISED OUR LIVES, FROM DAILY NECESSITIES TO MEDICAL SUPPLIES, INCREASING HYGIENE WORLDWIDE. BY LOWERING CO2 EMISSIONS, VEHICLES ARE ALWAYS LIGHTER. THE PRODUCTS ARE LIGHTWEIGHT, REDUCING LOGISTIC COSTS AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT.

SLAMP USES COLD CUTTING TO AVOID PRODUCING CARBON DIOXIDE AND OTHER TOXIN EMISSIONS. .
A study by Trucost for the American Chemistry Council found that technopolymers help
reduce environmental cost four times more than the alternative.
Environmental cost is defined as the sum of various environmental issues including climate change, ocean pollution, and damage to human and ecological health.

SOCIAL RESPONSABILIT Y
25 YEARS OF SUSTAINABLE MANUFCTURING ZERO CO2 EMISSIONS DURING PRODUCTION: ALL MATERIALS UNDERGO COLD CUTTING. WASTE IS KEPT TO A MINIMUM THANKS TO INTELLIGENT ENGINEERING. CUTTINGS ARE RECYCLED ONCE A MONTH. PART OF THE ENERGY USED DURING MANUFACTURING IS PROVIDED BY RENEWABLE SOURCES. THE HUB WAS CONSTRUCTED WITH MATERIALS THAT ENSURE HEIGHTENED INSULATION.

THE LARGE WINDOW FRONTS REDUCE THE ASSEMBLY LINES’ NEED FOR ARTIFICIAL ILLUMINATION.

FROM LAMPS TO BEEHIVES
AT THE END OF 2019, SLAMP BEGAN AN INNOVATIVE DEAL WITH DS-GROUP TO GIVE NEW LIFE TO THEIR TECHNOPOLYMERS. CUTTINGS ARE BEING TRANSFORMED INTO BEEHIVES.
Leftovers from Slamp lamps, ready for transformation.

TRANSFORMING THE CUTTINGS
PHASE 1: PRODUCTION AND COLLECTION OF CUTTINGS THE EXCESS TECHNOPOLYMER CUTTINGS, RESEMBLING STENCILS OF THE LAMPS’ DECORATIVE ELEMENTS, ARE COLLECTED AND DIVIDED DAILY IN SLAMP’S MANUFACTURING DEPARTMENT, THEN RECYCLED MONTHLY BY THE DS GROUP.

THE OPERATORS WHO SPECIALISE IN COLD CUTTING (A PROCESS PRODUCING ZERO CO2 EMISSIONS), AS WELL AS THE RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT DESIGNERS WORK TOGETHER TO OPTIMISE MATERIAL USE AND REDUCE WASTE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. 13

TRANSFORMING THE CUTTINGS PHASE 2: GRINDING
THE DS GROUP FIRST SHREDS THE CUTTINGS INTO 0.5 CM PARTICLES. THE PARTICLES ARE TREATED LIIKE VIRGIN PLASTIC GRANULES, LIQUIFIED AND TRANSFORMED INTO THE RAW BEEHIVE MATERIAL.
PHASE 3: RAW MATERIAL THE DS GROUP USES THE REPURPOSED PARTICLES DERIVED FROM THE CUTTINGS INSTEAD OF VIRGIN GRANULES, ACTIVATING A CIRCULAR ECONOMY THROUGH RECYCLING. 14
SHREDDING CREATES PARTICLES THAT ARE TREATED EXACTLY LIKE VIRGIN PLASTIC GRANULES, LIQUIFIED AND TRANSFORMED INTO THE RAW BEEHIVE MATERIAL.

TRANSFORMING THE CUTTINGS PHASE 4: PRODUCING BEEHIVES
SLAMP LAMPS ARE TRANSFORMED INTO AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THE BEEHIVE: THE CAPSULE HOUSING THE QUEEN BUMBLEBEE, WHO WILL PRODUCE A COLONY OF UP TO 200 WORKER BEES.

BUMBLEBEES ARE A PRICELESS TECHNICAL TOOL USED IN AGRICULTURE THROUGHOUT EUROPE, ASIA, AND NORTH AFRICA. THEY BOTH PROMOTE AND DEPEND ON BIODIVERSITY. THEY USE THEIR STRAWLIKE MOUTHS TO SHAKE FLOWERS, RELEASING LARGE QUANTITIES OF POLLEN ESSENTIAL TO THE POLLINATION OF TOMATOES, STRAWBERRIES, BLUEBERRIES, RASPBERRIES, PEPPERS, EGGPLANTS, AND POTATOES, TO NAME A FEW. ALL PLANTS THAT PLAY AN ESSENTIAL ROLE IN OUR DAILY DIETS, AND ALL PLANTS THAT HAVE EVOLVED IN TANDEM WITH BUMBLEBEES.
