Nichia's Initiatives for Reducing Environmental Impact: sustainabLED™
Tokushima, Japan – 15 October 2025: Nichia, the world's largest LED manufacturer and inventor of the high-brightness blue and white LEDs, has been promoting energy conservation through the development of high-efficacy LEDs. Nichia has also promoted the replacement of mercury lamps with UV LEDs aimed at realizing a mercury-free society. Since its foundation, Nichia has upheld this core belief of “Respect the Environment” and continues to advance product development with this philosophy at its heart.
Nichia has now also established its sustainabLED™ initiative which embodies its efforts in reducing environmental impacts through LEDs.
As the first step for sustainabLED™, Nichia launched an LED that uses recycled materials for some of its main components. It is expected to contribute to resource circulation and waste reduction without affecting the performance or quality of LEDs.
Other initiatives will also be introduced on our blog in the future.
Nichia will continue to strive to develop products that benefit society, with the aim of reducing environmental impact and realizing a sustainable society.
