Recolight Big Light Project

Recolight is the UK’s first and foremost recycling service for the safe disposal of fluorescent and mercury lamps, known as Gas Discharge Lamps (GDLs) of which the most popular household version is the Compact Fluorescent Lamp (CFL). A not-for-profit organisation, Recolight was created for the major CFL manufacturers in 2005, to create an industry-led compliance scheme for specialist recycling.

Recolight has produced an educational project called ‘BIG LIGHT PROJECT’ for schools, covering the wide-ranging subject of Light and Lighting in our World. Written by a specially appointed team of industry experts and teachers, it will take your class on an imaginative journey, from past to present, through to the future, touching on a number of related life issues, such as active recycling, energy efficiency and climate change.

Part of a wider Recolight publicity campaign to heighten awareness of what it does, ‘BIG LIGHT PROJECT’ equips teachers with all the tools, knowledge and activities required to deliver a series of really absorbing lessons to young people.

‘BIG LIGHT PROJECT’ is available for three different subjects: PSHE, Science and design and technology all created for teaching key stage 3. Also Recolight are running their first ever schools competition. Request your free educational resources today by simply clicking on the link below.
