<strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong><br />

The Stiftung Licht Recycling Schweiz SLRS (Swiss<br />

Lighting Recycling Foundation) works in tandem<br />

with SENS to operate a separate recycling system<br />

for lamps and luminaires which have to be recycled.<br />

ARF Fund for Lighting Equipment<br />

The SLRS is responsible for managing the Funds for<br />

Lighting Equipment and Luminaires. It has become a<br />

tradition for the SLRS to publish its annual balance<br />

sheet in the SENS <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong>.<br />

Yield 31.12.<strong>2010</strong> 31.12.2009<br />

ARF for lighting equipment 3’964’449.79 3’849’941.95<br />

Expenditure<br />

Payments for recycling services − 2’622’342.22 − 2’518’084.95<br />

Contribution to SENS system costs − 125’000.00 − 125’000.00<br />

Total expenditure for recycling − 2’747’342.22 − 2’643’084.95<br />

Marketing / Public Relations − 153’298.78 − 234’412.96<br />

Proportion of administrative expenditure for SLRS − 94’254.15 − 95’622.78<br />

Proportion of the result carried over for SLRS − 4’077.43 − 5’486.13<br />

Allocation to the ARF Fund for Lighting Equipment 1’115’000.00 865’000.00<br />

ARF Fund for Lighting Equipment as of 31.12. 12’495’000.00 11’380’000.00<br />

Comments: The number of light bulbs in circulation in Switzerland which have to be recycled, and thus the ARF yield as well,<br />

are up 3 % on the previous year.<br />

The total volume of light bulbs recycled, expressed in kg, rose by almost 2 %. That said, there was a welcome rise in the quantity<br />

of units processed as the average weight is coming down continuously on account of the rising quantities of compact light bulbs<br />

(energy-saving light bulbs). Assuming that they weigh 120 g on average, almost ten million light bulbs were recycled through our<br />

system, with energy-saving light bulbs accounting for approx. 1.5 million of them.<br />

All in all, the developments mentioned have led, as expected, to a slight increase in the Fund for Lighting Equipment.<br />

ARF Fund for Luminaires<br />

Yield 31.12.<strong>2010</strong> 31.12.2009<br />

Comments: There was an 11 % rise in the volumes recycled. The cost of recycling only rose by 4 % due to the lower recycling<br />

payments which are associated with trends in the prices of metals since mid-2009.<br />
