Electrolux Group Develops Vacuum Cleaner Made of Up to 44% Recycled Material
CHARLOTTE, NC—Electrolux Group has developed a vacuum cleaner made of up to 44% recycled material. The Electrolux brand Ultimate700's paint-free surface removes the use of chemicals in the manufacturing process; the colors are created with new recycled plastic formulations that range from 36% to 44% recycled material by weight, depending on color and nozzles. The calculation considers the vacuum itself, complete with nozzle accessories – but minus the charging stand, battery, adapter, and filters.
“For future products we develop, we’ll continue to add more recycled content at increasing levels. This is just the beginning.”
