Efficient and safe city street lighting

Efficient and safe city street lighting

Information

Enlightening initiative...

  • European city wants to become greener, safer and more prosperous 
  • New low-energy street lighting identified as key, resulting in three-year replacement programme

Swansea Council's 28 000 street lights were consuming high levels of energy so it was decided at one point to rationalise their use; 2 100 were turned off to save energy and a further 800 removed for safety reasons. But a more strategic decision was to invest in new low-energy lighting all round.

Surplus food redistribution

Surplus food redistribution

Information

Food redistribution is where surplus items, which would otherwise end up as waste, are made available for other uses and consumption. Companies, charities and individuals can all benefit from the redistribution of surplus food. There are many organisations that will help match surplus food with people or businesses in the community who can make use of it.
Throwing food away has a financial impact that goes far beyond the commonly reported costs associated with waste collection.
