Global leader in aircraft lighting solutions, STG Aerospace, a Heads Up Technologies Company, is introducing its latest innovation, ‘eco everything’concept, at the Aircraft Interiors Expo (AIX) 2025 in Hamburg, Germany.

Building on the success of the saf-Tglo eco E1™, the world’s first sustainable emergency floor path marking system launched at AIX 2024, STG Aerospace has taken its learnings to expand these principles across its photoluminescent range by the end of 2025, making eco solutions accessible to all customers. This will apply across all four widths of saf-Tglo® SSUL-X™ (11mm, 18mm, 23mm, and 36mm), offering airlines a versatile and eco-conscious option.

‘Eco everything’ combines exceptional performance with sustainability innovations. This development will increase our track recycled content from 50% to >80%, with our future goal being 100%. All recycled materials are ISCC certified. Plus, a bio additive ensures the elimination of forever plastics.

By building on sustainability across its emergency floor path marking system ranges, STG is supporting the aviation industry’s push towards net zero by 2050.

Business Unit Director, Dr. Sean O’Kell said: “We are making eco the standard for all our photoluminescent products to help airlines and OEMs achieve the shared and urgent goal of net zero. We have also reviewed our packaging and made that more sustainable too. By aligning our expertise with sustainability, we’re playing our part in driving the shift towards a greener future for aviation.

“We are proud to have saf-Tglo® products operating on more than 10,000 aircraft with 300 airlines. And we are excited to offer our customers more sustainable products that will not compromise on safety or the cabin aesthetic.”

To support the eco everything concept, STG is extending its existing ecologi collaboration. For every length of sustainable saf-Tglo SSUL-X sold, ecologi will help plant 1 tree. Ecologi provides a global platform to plant real trees online and track them via satellite.

In addition to ‘eco everything’, STG Aerospace will also showcase products from Heads Up Technologies, including the latest Passenger Briefing System and premium cabin audio options at AIX 2025.
