to the London Borough of Redbridge - United Kingdom.
Redbridge is a very forward looking borough always keen to adopt environmentally friendly
solutions thereby conserving energy. As Mick Trussler of the London Borough points out, "In
Redbridge we are not only looking for new technology to improve our street lighting but we
want to ensure that we implement the new CEN standards which have recently been released.
By adopting the new Philips CosmoPolis lamp and Starsense Telemanagement system we have
achieved our goals.We are more than pleased with the results."

Environment
Environmental issues become increasingly important, and Philips adopts an ecological approach,
not just over a lamps’ service life but from the moment of its design conception right through to
the day its components are recycled into new lamps.
Because of its outstanding ecological performance, CosmoPolis is one of
Philips’ Green Flagship products:
• High efficacy and low gear losses cut CO greenhouse gas emissions.
• Long life reduces resources needed to manufacture replacement lamps and gear
and reduces recycling burden.
• Miniaturisation of lamps and gear cuts material use both in manufacture and packaging
and transport volume.
• Lamps contain little or no hazardous materials (low mercury, zero lead). Gear is lead-free.
Philips is Market Leader in Corporate Sustainability at the Dow Jones Sustainability
Index in both 2004 and 2005.
