Figure 11.  Key stages in the life cycle of linear fluorescent lamps in New Zealand, and the stakeholders involved in those stages

For linear fluorescent lamps.

  1. Import and manufacture: overseas manufacture of lamps and luminaires, importer/distributor and NZ manufacture of luminaires.

Key pathways are from the overseas manufacture of lamps and luminiares and the importer/distributor, electrical wholesalers and NZ manufacture of luminaires.

  1. Distribution and sale: developers, retail, electrical wholesalers and internet sales.

The electrical wholesalers link to the electrical contractors, maintenance contractors and in-house electricians.

  1. Installation: householder/DIYer, small commercial, electrical contractors, maintenance contractors and in-house electricians.

The electrical contractors link to all the ‘use’ stakeholders below, however, most strongly with retail, office and public buildings.

  1. Use: residential buildings, small commercial, specialist lighting plus the following key account customers; retail buildings, office buildings, public buildings, industrial buildings and public lighting.

For office and public buildings there is a life cycle pathway to the de-installation electrical contractors.

  1. De-installation: householders, small commercial, demolition contractors, electrical contractors, maintenance contractors and in-house electricians.

The de-installation electrical contractors link predominantly to landfill rather than recycling commercial. The maintenance and in-house electricians also link to the landfill pathway more strongly than the recycling commercial.

  1. End-of-life: landfill, recycling public, recycling commercial.
