6.3 INFORMATION ON ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Preserving nature and protecting the environment: At Vorwerk, environmental protection is
an important company objective.
6.3.1 LESS PACKAGING
We use only environmentally friendly material, which is recycled if disposed of correctly. We
are actively involved in cutting back on waste packaing during the development stages and
are committed to its disposal and recycling.
6.3.2 SAVING ENERGY
Vorwerk products protect the environment: They only use a small amount of energy with high
suction performance.
6.3.3 ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY PRODUCTION
We attach a great deal of importance to environmental protection when manufacturing our
products. We use recyclable plastics and colours. We deliberately avoid using polluting flame
retardants.
For our filterbags we use solvent-free adhesives, unbleached paper and non-hazardous plastic.
Our instruction manuals are made from sustainably managed forests and are bleached with-
out chlorine.
6.3.4 REUSABLE MATERIAL
The material for our products can nearly be completely recycled. We largely avoid using PVC.
When manufacturing our products, we use “sorted” materials:
The substances used can later be separated accordingly at modern facilities without much
energy expenditure. To make them even easier for recycling, we have labelled most of our
plastic components.
