Posted on by

Since September 1, 2023, BSH has been using CO2-reduced stainless steel for dishwasher manufacturing, marking the first time ever for such usage.

At the production site in Dillingen (Germany), BSH utilize partially CO2-reduced stainless steel sourced from our partner, Aperam. This stainless steel has a footprint that is up to 47 percent lower than conventional stainless steel, emphasizing their ambition to achieve the corporate targets in the area of sustainability. By 2030, BSH aims to reduce the indirect CO2 footprint (Scope 3) by 15 percent in absolute terms compared to 2018, despite growthTo achieve this, we are mainly employing two strategies.
On the one hand, they offer our consumers particularly energy-efficient products that enable them to save energy and therefore money at home.
Additionally, BSH increasingly focusing on production materials that have a smaller carbon footprint. That’s why we are pleased that we’re working with Aperam to advance the decarbonization of our value chain. Already since 2020, we have been developing and manufacturing CO2-neutral (Scope 1&2) at all our sites worldwide

BSH group will implement Matter in smart kitchen appliances from 2024

At the beginning of 2024, the BSH group, producer of well-known household brands such as Bosch, Siemens, Gaggenau and Neff, will switch to using Matter technology, the latest technology in smart home connectivity. The refrigerators are the first to go, specifically the spacious XXL built-in fridge-freezer combinations. In Matter 1.2, a large number of household appliances have been added, including refrigerators, dishwashers and washing machines.

The BSH group, which includes heavyweights such as Bosch and Siemens, is at the forefront of this innovation as some of their appliances are already connected via the cloud and can be controlled remotely with Home Connect.

Matter 1.2 promises a seamless connection between various home appliances, and BSH plans to adopt this standard in their refrigerators that will allow users to control the temperature remotely. While details on which current models will support Matter have not yet been announced, it is likely that only more recent devices will be compatible.

Furthermore, in 2024, the Bosch Smart Home controller will function as a Matter bridge, which will play a crucial role in the new ecosystem of connected devices. This will herald a gradual transition to a fully Matter-compatible smart home system, although it is still unclear when other appliances such as washing machines and dishwashers will follow.

Matter does not yet support everything; for example, there is no support for cameras yet. Nevertheless, this update marks an important step forward in the world of smart kitchen appliance
