Glow sticks aren't meeting modern
curriculum requirements
Educators often use glow sticks in science experiments, art projects, and school events. While engaging for students and great for demonstrating concepts like chemiluminescence, the waste generated from these single-use items contradicts the environmental responsibility many aim to teach.
Lux Bio safe and sustainable luminescence teaches curiosity, innovation, and environmental responsibility
What if we could provide even better illuminating experiences for students that highlights sustainability, innovative applications of biotechnology, learning from nature and biomimicry, and concepts of waste reduction? The Lume and Lux Bio enzyme technology offers an innovative, safe, and eco-friendly option.
It allows educators to demonstrate concepts related to light, while also teaching about sustainability and innovative problem-solving. This creates a more cohesive message about environmental responsibility and still maintains the excitement and fun that are a classic with glow sticks!

"My students had so much fun experimenting and creating bioluminescent test tubes with different materials, they felt like real scientists! One thing I hear often in class is “why do I have to learn this?” Thanks to Paige and Nicole, my students can see with their eyes “why” they have learn the basics- so that they have the skills to do the cool things that come after! With love and the utmost respect for inspiring future climate change scientists."

"I want a light wand not only because it's a great way to help save the planet but also because they are extremely cool."
"Glow sticks have been a staple in the music scene forever and having an innovative and constructive alternative is huge!"
"Perfect example of what need to be doing in today's society—not necessarily getting rid of things that we love but adapting them so they are good for the planet as well as for us."
A medium-sized city might use over 50,000 glow sticks annually—that's 850 kgs of plastic, 530 L of harmful chemicals, and 225 kg CO2.
