    Description
    Description

    The PET Lamp project is a beautiful melding of design, craftsmanship, and environmental consciousness, turning discarded PET plastic bottles into exquisite, culturally rich lampshades. Launched in 2012 in Colombia as a creative solution to the plastic waste dilemma, PET Lamp has evolved into a global phenomenon, reaching communities in Chile, Ethiopia, Thailand, Ghana, Australia, and Japan. The initiative represents a seamless blend of industrial design and traditional artisan skills, promoting sustainable practices and cultural preservation through the art of weaving.Co-founded by the visionary Alvaro Catalan de Ocon, who was later joined by Sebastián Betanzo and Enrique Romero de la Llana, PET Lamp stands as a testament to innovative design with a purpose. It's a project that transcends mere product creation, delving into the realms of environmental conservation and anthropological exploration. Each collection celebrates the unique weaving traditions and cultural heritage of its region of origin, ensuring that every lampshade not only illuminates spaces but also tells a story of tradition, resilience, and creativity.PET Lamp's approach is deeply collaborative, working closely with local artisans to integrate their weaving skills into the modern design practice of upcycling PET bottles. This collaboration not only aids in preserving and promoting indigenous crafts but also tackles the pressing issue of plastic waste, making PET Lamp a beacon of sustainable design and cultural appreciation.

    Implementation of the Project/Activity

    Since 2011 we have been empowering regional communities to rethink plastic bottles in a new way.

    1. Investigation

    Every new PET Lamp Project starts with a research deep dive aimed at seeking answers to 3 critical questions:

    Is a collaboration logistically possible?

    Is there a strong weaving tradition that we can elevate through collaboration?

    Will this project be of benefit to the artisans?

    Through this process we learn all about the artisans, their community, culture, and weaving practices, so we can move onto the next step, well informed but open minded to all possibilities!

    2. Workshops

    If the Investigation proves fruitful and the artisans are enthusiastic about a collaboration, the PET Lamp Team will travel to their location, sometimes for as much as a month, to undertake arguably the most important step in the creation of a new Collection. The workshops serve as an in depth information exchange; with the artisans articulating the nuances of their weaving skills and traditions, while the PET Lamp Team shares their design expertise and insight gained from prior collections.Together, we explore, design and build prototypes of what will hopefully become a yet-to-be-named new PET Lamp Collection.

    3. Formalising Product & Relationships

    With the prototypes back in the ACdO Studio, the PET Lamp Team sets about establishing how best to turn the shades into fully functioning, electrified Lamps: Supporting components, cable options, ceiling attachments, and packaging are all designed, built and tested to ensure a consistent, high quality, beautiful product is ready to leave the studio. With the artisans input, we get the fancy pens out to formalize the partnership, so all parties can be secure in the knowledge of what is expected of them, and how they will benefit from the collaboration!

    4. Continued Engagement

    A new PET Lamp Collection often receives a warm reception from the Design World, but the work doesn’t stop once the Exhibitions and Fairs are over! We believe that the success of a collection resides in its consistency and longevity, and this is why we build strong relationships with our artisans, and keep them updated as to how our customers are responding to their shades! We also put a great deal of effort into our free printed newsletters that get shipped with every PET Lamp: It is a document designed to give every collection equal footing, and to tell the project’s story in order to raise awareness of the issues that the PET Lamp Project addresses, and to inspire readers to join us on the journey!

    Arrangements for Capacity-Building and Technology Transfer

    An effective capacity building arrangement for the PET Lamp project, considering its mission and activities, would likely involve a multifaceted approach that encompasses skills development, cultural preservation, environmental sustainability, and global collaboration.

       - Awareness Campaigns: Organize global campaigns that highlight the issue of PET waste and showcase the PET Lamp project as a model for creative recycling.

       - Partnerships: Collaborate with environmental organizations to amplify the message and impact.

    4. Business and Marketing Skills Development:

    Provide artisans with training in business skills such as marketing, online sales, and entrepreneurship to enable them to reach a wider market, thus ensuring the sustainability of their craft outside the scope of the PET Lamp project. This could involve:

       - E-commerce Training: Workshops on managing online sales platforms and social media.

       - Business Management: Sessions on financial management, pricing strategies, and customer service.

    5. Global Artisan Network:

    Establish a formal network of all the artisan communities involved in the PET Lamp project to facilitate ongoing knowledge sharing, collaboration, and mutual support. This network could host annual conferences, either virtually or in different host countries, to strengthen ties and share successes and challenges.

    6. Supporting Infrastructure:

    Invest in necessary infrastructure improvements in artisan communities, such as better workshop spaces, tools, and materials, to enhance their productivity and working conditions

    Coordination mechanisms

    The PET Lamp project is governed through a blend of collaborative, cultural, and creative mechanisms, deeply rooted in the project's core philosophy of sustainability, community empowerment, and cultural preservation. At the heart of this initiative is the intertwining of traditional artisan techniques with contemporary design, aimed at addressing the global issue of plastic waste. 

    - Collaboration with Artisans and Communities: Central to PET Lamp's approach is its partnership with local artisan communities worldwide.

    B Certification

    PET Lamp's journey to becoming a B Corp certified entity stems from our foundational commitment to reducing environmental impact, uplifting artisan communities, and crafting products that benefit both humanity and the planet. This ethos is not confined to our product line but is integral to the operations at our Madrid headquarters. Here, we prioritize sustainable energy, sourcing 100% from renewable sources, fostering a diverse and healthy workplace, engaging with local suppliers to minimize our carbon footprint, enhancing our recycling efforts, and reducing waste. Our overarching goal is to exert a positive influence on the surrounding community, reflecting the core values that B Corporations embody.

    Established in 2012, PET Lamp was conceived with the vision of repurposing single-use plastic bottles, which, due to their non-biodegradable nature, pose a significant threat to ecosystems. In the face of this global challenge, PET Lamp recognized an opportunity to transform these bottles into durable, aesthetically pleasing products. Our innovative approach has led to the upcycling of over 20,000 bottles by 2022, turning potential environmental hazards into cherished artifacts. This initiative not only addresses the issue of plastic waste but also celebrates the rich tapestry of global artisanal traditions, making PET Lamp a paragon of sustainable design and a deserving recipient of B Corp certification since 2022.
