Zumtobel’s new IZURA pendant wins German Sustainability Award
Zumtobel’s new IZURA pendant luminaire has won the 2025 German Sustainability Award (DNP) in the Product + Resources category.
The jury praised its modular architecture, resource efficient construction and integrated digital product passport, which delivers full transparency across the product’s lifecycle.
IZURA was conceived as a next-generation luminaire built for the circular economy. Its reflector is moulded from biocomposites, and its housing is constructed from recycled steel – eliminating plastic wherever possible. Designed under Zumtobel’s Circular Design Rules (CDR), IZURA follows guidelines from responsible material sourcing to end-of-life recycling. Low energy manufacturing processes further reduce its carbon footprint, helping to meet ambitious climate-protection goals.
Each IZURA luminaire has an online digital product passport detailing its production methods, material composition and recommended maintenance. The passport guides users through disassembly and recycling, and Zumtobel’s after-sales services – repairs, replacement parts and warranty management – extend the product’s usable life. Soon, the passport will include an authenticity certificate to guard against counterfeits.
