Sustainable Lighting

A Word From Mr. Rabel

When I acquired the glassworks in 1997, with which I was later able to start BROKIS, many things changed, but my outlook on the environment and consideration for the land remained as steadfast as ever. These values require constant work and must be projected onto the living processes of the company.

For instance, I’m very pleased that we’ve managed to reduce our water consumption by more than 50%, which means that leading up to this year we used some 190,000,000 fewer litres of water. I also mustn’t overlook the implementation of new manufacturing processes that have helped us reduce our CO2 emissions by tens of percent.

In order to articulate our efforts and symbiosis with nature, we decided to create this report, which will provide everyone who cares about our planet with sufficient information on our company.

It’s not just the ecological aspect that’s important but also the social one. As a company, we’re a stable employer in the region and fulfill an essential role with impacts that extend well beyond the borders of the Czech Republic. The fundamental values that we uphold enrich our company culture.

In addition to actively practicing ecological sustainability, we’re a socially responsible and ethical company. We value the knowhow of our master glassblowers, whose dedication and hard work keeps the glassblowing tradition going from one generation to the next.

1997
19,000 tons of CO2
(3,800 tons of coal per year)
and 1,800,000 m3 of gas

NOW
3,8 tons of CO2
(1,440,000 m3 of gas per year)

Our goal is to be CO2 neutral.

In 2023/2024, we’ll be installing solar panels that will help us achieve an annual reduction of CO2. That’s an impressive 17%.

Our vision counts on the introduction of more elements of a circular
economy, including the ongoing development of our virtual projects, which currently fulfil the role of design shows and trade fairs.

We intend to do all of this while continuing to create unique lighting collections that are not only beautiful and technologically superior. But are also instilled with our legacy of caring for the world around us.

I’m grateful that our clients share these values with us. And I thank them for that.

Production Chain

Approximately 80% of the company’s suppliers are located within a 120-kilometre radius, and all BROKIS products are assembled in Janštejn (CZ), where the company operates its own glassworks.

This allows BROKIS to use a remarkably short production chain, whose sustainable management relies on lasting relationships built on mutual trust and respect between the company and its suppliers.

JGG believes in sustainable global growth in the
common interest of all current and future stakeholders and is aware of the influence that its activity has on the economic and social development and general wellbeing of the community.

Industry Innovation

In the time the Mr Rabell has been at the helm of the company and the glassworks, many important steps have been taken to address the ecological problems of the past.

The factory is being expanded with facilities that will help the entire group achieve greater efficiency in manufacturing and related processes. There are plans for a new, more efficient filter on the glass furnaces within five years.

Sustainability Awards

Lucie Koldova’s Overlay Collection received the main prize in the sustainability category at the Archiproducts Design Awards 2022. Shards of recycled glass from Janštejn Glassworks are embedded in the unique concrete lamp.

Waste Management

Glass waste is fully recycled, resulting in zero glass waste in the factory. The primary component of this recycling is BROKISGLASS, which arose from the ecological manufacturing practices of Janštejn Glassworks and BROKIS.

This unique material is made of glass shards discarded during the manufacture of BROKIS handblown glass lighting collections.

BROKISGLASS has brought about a significant reduction in waste material.

The transformation of waste shards into a new decorative product represents an environmentally friendly and efficient upcycling of material, thanks to which the glassworks is able to employ a strategic circular economy and thus contribute to the creation of a healthy symbiosis between nature and humans.

The next step are procedures for new glass blends that can be added to other materials, such as concrete, in order to achieve 100% reuse of waste glass shards. These materials are applied in new BROKIS collections.

Product Durability and Longevity

Substantial focus is concentrated on the efficient replacement of damaged components. The longevity of our products is ensured thanks to a special connector developed by BROKIS. The connector provides a considerable degree of variability in combining and replacing lights. Outstanding quality and long-term testing further support the longevity of our lights.

BROKIS offers replacements for 100% of its product components

Declarations and Sustainable Development

All woods used in the manufacture of our products bear the Rainforest Alliance seal and are FSC certified.

RoHS

All glass components are RoHS compliant (Restriction of Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment). All supplied glass is crystal and contains no lead. All products are and will continue to be fully compliant with EU Directive 2015/863/EU and any amendments made to it.

Sustainability Highlights

Product Development

The outstanding quality of the materials and long-term testing further support the longevity of our lights. Our products are conceived to be icons in the world of design, with timeless ideas and unique technologies ensuring they are jewels in your space for generations to come.

Relationship with Clients

BROKIS demonstrates its devotion to clients by offering exceptionally designed and technologically advanced lighting systems. Attentive communication, an efficient repair/replacement service, and a comprehensive spare parts policy.

All of which contribute to the sustainability and permanent value of the products.

Glassworks Open Days

Since 2020, the gates to our glassworks have been open to the public, and to date more than 2,000 people have taken the opportunity to tour the factory.

The company is currently pursuing plans to open the historic part of the glassworks to the public in 2025.

LCA and EPD Certificates

BROKISGLASS products are certified per the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology. Following successful completion of the process, an internationally recognized Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) was issued. This comprehensive document provides measurable data on the environmental impact of the products throughout their life cycle.

At the beginning of 2025, BROKISGLASS (together with Janštejn Glassworks) completed the LCA (Life cycle assessment) certification process. LCA is an analytical comparative method for determining potential environmental impacts across the entire life cycle of products.

By focusing on the entire life cycle (the so-called cradle to grave), it is possible to detect even environmental impacts that are not apparent at first glance. LCA certification is the most comprehensive and trusted type of environmental statement because it is based on the Life Cycle Assessment method, verified by a third party and certified by a mandated certifying institution.

An Environmental Product Declaration is a set of measurable information about the impact of a product on the environment throughout its life cycle (e.g. energy and water consumption, waste production, climate change impact, etc.). This information is determined by the LCA method. Thus, the EPD is a detailed proof of the product on its environmental impact.
