Electrolux and Stena Recycling

Together with Stena Recycling, Electrolux has developed a vacuum cleaner made of 100% recycled and reused materials. The plastic and components originate from consumers’ electronic products.

70% think it’s important that the products they buy can be recycled
70% believe a good range of products is important to enable a sustainable lifestyle

Four sustainable trends within manufacturing

Waste is increasingly viewed as a valuable resource that can be used in production as a complement to virgin materials. Through a circular approach, Stena Recycling is moving more waste up the waste hierarchy and developing from leaders in waste management to a reliable resource partner that creates and supplies high-quality recycled raw materials.
Smart machines and connected processes are maximizing efficiency to save time, energy and eliminate waste. These machines can also reduce costly downtime by identifying problems and predicting the need for maintenance in advance.

Increasing robotization brings increased productivity and precision. The use of 3D printing is a perfect example, where new components are created with maximum precision and zero waste at high rates of productivity.
As society becomes more environmentally aware and moves away from a “throw-away mentality”, the demand for reused and refurbished products is growing. To meet this demand, remanufacturing and refurbishing is increasing – reducing reliance on virgin materials and helping meet new legislation.
