500 billion bottles are produced every year and many of them end up being littered or in the oceans.

At Blachere, we have decided to tackle the scourge of plastic pollution by recycling PET (polyethylene terephthalate) from the food industry to create beautiful and innovative decorations using this unique material – rPET (recycled PET).
Indeed, each year, about 8 million tons of waste end up in the oceans and form the 7th continent – a vortex of floating plastics equivalent in size to 1/3 of Europe.

Recycling, creating, innovating.

The bottles we salvage are sorted by colour (from colourless to blue), then crushed into flakes to be shaped for extrusion. The granules resulting from this transformation are then injected into our 3D printers to create unique blue decorations.
This unrivalled method helps to limit greenhouse gas emissions and to keep our nature clean from plastic bottles as far as possible.

The christmas tree better than a real one!

Who hasn’t dreamed of a huge Christmas tree? However, a natural tree takes 30 or 40 years to reach a height of 12 m. To avoid being involved in deforestation and cutting down these majestic four-decades-old trees, we have invented Nordika.

Pre-illuminated with a SlowGlow effect, and easy to put up and store away, they are perfect replicas of their natural cousins thanks to their design and incredibly realistic look.

The Christmas tradition

What could be more iconic than a majestic Christmas tree during the holiday season?

This Christmas, Blachère has reinvented this festive classic, taking care of every little detail:

The perfectly regular branches, realistic high-quality finish and majestic size make this a must-have product.

Just as you carefully consider how you will decorate your Christmas tree at home each year to surprise and amaze your family and friends, you can personalise your Nordika to make it unique: hang baubles from the branches, add lit toppers, or put them in a wooden stand.

Our NORDIKA tree remains a lasting, high-quality investment in line with the very best of Christmas tradition.

Optimised energy management

The «smart city» movement is gaining ground in France.

Issues of eco-friendly equipment design and durability, plus smart energy management, are now part of many eco-friendly urban policies. Blachère works alongside towns and cities to develop new solutions that protect our planet and our future.

With our illumination management systems, you can remotely and easily manage the hours you want your illuminations to be on for and detect any problems.

This means towns and cities can manage their electric resources more simply and with more control, and also contributes to their environmental and sustainable development goals.

An intelligent and affordable system for a sustainable smart city.

Our various illumination management systems

1/ I’ve got Switch+ boxes for my lights and I control the hours they are on for:

In a street, all my motifs are equipped individually with Switch+ boxes (pre-programmed according to my setup), making up a network.
This allows you to set a different time for your decorations versus public lighting and to decide to only have them on at certain times or calendar days to save energy and respect night-time biodiversity (see column 1 of attached table).

2/ I’ve got FL525RGB garlands and the PRX10RGB box (p132-133) for my trees and want to control the LEDs’ colour and the hours they are on for:

Stand in the street by the FL525RGB garlands.

Open the Caméléon app on your phone, identify your garland groups and decide which LED colour and animation you want. You can also set the times and days they are on for. This gives you a colourful light show that suits you (see column 2 of attached table).

3/ I’ve got Switch or Caméléon boxes for all my illuminations and want to control them all remotely on my computer, tablet or phone:

All my decorations are equipped with Switch+ or Caméléon units, I am also equipped with the ORCHESTRA control system by setting up ORCHESTRA relay units. Control this system through an online interface with a responsive design that can be opened on your computer, tablet or smartphone. You can set up lighting scenarios for your illuminations and the days and times they are on.

You have a remote real-time view of how your installations are working and are alerted to any problems.

All this data is managed securely in the Blachère Smartcloud so you can enjoy peace of mind at Christmas.

Once the ORCHESTRA system has been set up in your town or city, you can also get the Blachère teams to manage your illuminations. We can set lighting scenarios, monitor alerts and regularly send you reports on how your decorations are working.

By considering practical use in their innovative designs, our R&D department has devised the all-new LED+ in both static and slowflash editions to make your projects come alive! Our new and exclusive LED range is the outcome of a long-term collaboration with Nichia®, the world leader in LEDs. The range is:

+ bright, + robust, + long span, + consistent in terms of color

The new technical features of LED+:

• Design is optimised and registered

to promote the luminous efficiency of our product (inverted cone principe).

• Thermal dissipation is maximised

for longer LED life

• Uniform phosphorus deposition

for a uniform lighting effect.

• 2 years guarantee
• Optimum protection index: IP66 / IP69
• Octoplus 230V Connection System by Blachère IP67
