The Netherlands is fully committed to sustainability, with a massive shift towards solar panels, heat pumps and electric cars. At the same time, our buildings and homes are becoming increasingly smart, with various detectors and sensors, and emergency lighting is essential in the event of a power failure.

The integration and increasing complexity of these systems place ever higher demands on the products and the power supply. Expansion or renewal of electrical installations is often necessary.

In order to comply with the latest safety requirements, certified installers will often have to modify existing fuse boxes, switchgear, cabling and emergency lighting. Old fuse boxes alone account for more than 1,000,000 kilograms of waste.

Unfortunately, old and unsafe electrical equipment also ends up on the grey market, without the manufacturer’s approval or warranty. This can lead to very dangerous situations, as 30% of all electrical accidents in fuse boxes are caused by improper installation or the use of substandard equipment.

Old and used distribution boxes, switches, sockets, emergency lighting and cabling may look fine on the outside, but often the internal technical condition of the components is completely unknown, with all the consequences that entails.

So don’t take any risks, because did you know that fires in meter cupboards are the second most common cause of fires in the Netherlands?

Circolektra puts your safety first by collecting old and surplus electrical materials and reusing them in a safe and controlled manner as raw materials or as complete products after official refurbishment by the manufacturer, including warranty.
