Applelec is proud to announce that its ECO Built Up Letters have been awarded Best Sustainable/Eco-Friendly Product of the Year at the VM & Display Awards 2025, a recognition of the company’s commitment to combining sustainability, innovation, and design excellence in retail display.
Manufactured from 100% recycled and recyclable closed-loop acrylic, and backed with Foamex containing up to 80% reclaimed post-production waste, the ECO Built Up Letters offer a practical yet visually striking solution for brands looking to reduce their environmental impact. Thoughtfully designed for ease of disassembly and full recyclability, the product supports circular design practices without compromising on quality or aesthetic appeal.
To further boost energy efficiency, Applelec integrates GENLED AgiLight’s PRO Premium 2 LED modules, featuring VersaLenz® optics and batwing beam patterns that ensure even light distribution—even in shallow sign depths. With 175 lm/W output, a 70,000-hour lifetime, and IP68-rated durability, these modules contribute to lower energy consumption and long-lasting performance across a range of applications.
And because every detail matters when building a greener future, as part of the award-winning Applelec ECO Pledge, the company also plants a tree for every order from its environmentally friendly product range—amplifying the positive environmental impact and reinforcing its commitment to responsible manufacturing and purposeful design.
“Winning the VM & Display Award for Best Sustainable/Eco-Friendly Product of the Year for our Applelec ECO Built Up Letters is an honour that celebrates the innovation, craftsmanship, and purpose behind our work. As bespoke manufacturers, we’re driven by the responsibility to deliver products that inspire visually, perform commercially, and respect the environment. This recognition fuels our passion to keep reimagining what sustainable design can achieve.
Working with like-minded suppliers such as GENLED Brands is key to our sustainability journey—their innovative and customisable illumination solutions empower us to eco-engineer our products in ways that enhance performance, reduce impact, and bring even greater value to our customers.” Rachel Gould – Marketing Manager, Applelec
“What a great idea,” said Scott Vontobel, president & CEO of GENLED Brands. “Congratulations to Applelec. We are thrilled that they were able to utilize our PRO Premium 2 modules in such a forward-thinking product. These modules were designed with efficiency and sustainability in mind, and the ECO Built Up Letter was a perfect fit.”
