About EGG
A Glasgow-based circular lighting company.
We help complex estates decide what to replace — and what to keep. We combine estate audit, asset decision logic and lifecycle delivery into a single managed service, operating to BS 8887-221:2024 — the UK remanufacture standard for lighting, which we helped write.
What we believe
The principles that guide every decision.
Honesty over overstatement
We'd rather lose a job than oversell one. The right answer, even when it isn't ours.
The right answer, not the easy one
We recommend replacement when replacement is genuinely better — and remanufacture when that wins.
The data is the product
A photographed fitting becomes a decision-grade asset record — the thing that makes a lighting decision defensible.
Built in Glasgow, for the long term
Skilled green jobs, Scottish IP, and a standard the wider industry follows.
Nothing wasted.
Not materials. Not carbon. Not the skill in this team.
Standards & credibility
An intersection few operators can claim together.
EGG sits at the overlap of national standards, Scottish circular procurement leadership and European industry consensus. Our credentials are independently verified and built into how we work.
