Electrolux on the way to the target of zero waste

Posted on by

Electrolux on the way to the target of zero waste sent to landfill at all manufacturing sites by 2025. During 2021, other seven factories achieved zero waste to landfill certification issued by a third party: at Manaus and Curitiba in Brazil, Adelaide in Australia, Rosario in Argentina, Olawa and Zabrze in Poland, and Susegana in Italy. Together with the factories in Sao Carlos in Brazil, Solaro and Porcia in Italy and Cairo in Egypt that were certified before 2021, 32% of plants are now certified and the Santiago factory in Chile is expected to follow in the first quarter of this year. “Working toward climate neutral operations, doesn’t just involve

working with energy – it involves working with the efficient use of all kinds of resources – says Giuseppe Caiulo, VP Group Operations Sustainability and Lean Manufacturing -. By producing less waste, we can avoid creating emissions – both caused by their disposal and the sourcing of virgin materials”. When one of the Electrolux factories is third-party certified to the Electrolux Zero Waste to Landfill program, it means that it sends less than 1% of its total waste to landfill. Additionally, certified factories must send less than 3% of their total waste to energy recovery.

AO recycles 5 million household goods

Posted on by

AO has reported passing a domestic appliances recycling landmark – with five million household goods finding their way into its dedicated AO Recycling facility in five years.

Based in Telford, AO Recycling opened its doors in spring 2017 with the goal of offering domestic appliances recycling services for fridges, washing machines, tumble driers, cookers, dishwashers, and other electricals.

An 80-tonne fridge crunching machine, called Bertha, supports AO with its domestic appliances recycling, with the retailer saying this equipment also collects any harmful gases released from the household goods.

Some of the electricals sent to AO Recycling’s facilities are refurbished to be sold on via trade and outlet shops – and the retailer said more than 200,000 appliances have received a new lease of life so far.

Grundig have formed an alliance with ReNew ELP to recycle our FiberCatcher® filter at the world’s first commercial-scale HydroPRS™ plastic recycling site.
 
Based in Teeside in North East England, this commercial scale hydrothermal advanced recycling site will be capable of recycling end-of-life plastic, converting mixed plastics back into fossil-replacement feedstock for use in the manufacture of new plastics and other products.

Whilst the Grundig FiberCatcher® filter is not suitable for traditional mechanical recycling via household collection, our partnership with ReNew ELP will allow users to recycle the filters, transforming used materials into repurposed plastic.
  
By partnering with ReNew ELP and utilising the world’s first commercial-scale HydroPRS™ plastic recycling site, we are able to prove Grundig’s commitment to the environment, minimising the environmental impact of our appliances in the process.
