Busch-Jaeger has introduced the biobased Busch-balance AP surface-mounted switch series, designed as a sustainable replacement for the Busch-Duro 2000 SI series. With a minimalist design, the series is intended for various interior applications, including attics, garages, and annexes, combining functionality with environmentally conscious materials.

Installation and Design
The Busch-balance AP series is designed for ease of installation, featuring flexible cable routing options and a modular design. The switches can be mounted vertically or horizontally, allowing adaptation to different spatial requirements. Covers are included to conceal installation components, providing a streamlined appearance.

Material Composition and Environmental Impact
The switch series is made from ISCC-certified biobased material, which meets sustainability standards and reduces CO2 emissions by approximately 78% compared to conventional plastic switches. The certification ensures that renewable raw materials are sourced responsibly, without affecting food supply chains. The production process complies with Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) regulations, which offer transparent information regarding the product’s lifecycle environmental impact. The use of biobased materials supports circular design principles and recyclability.

Applications and Industry Relevance
The switch series is relevant for architects, interior designers, and product designers seeking sustainable components for residential, commercial, and industrial interiors. The alpine white finish and minimalist design are compatible with a range of design styles, supporting both aesthetic and functional requirements.
