Circular economy
The future is circular
Rethinking the way we make things. We are dedicated to integrating circular economy principles to minimise waste, enhance resource efficiency, and reduce our environmental footprint. This involves designing durable, reusable, and recyclable appliances for both performance and sustainability.
Our vision is to create products that support a sustainable, circular economy. By constantly challenging ourselves to improve and innovate, we are taking meaningful steps towards closing the loop and making a lasting difference.
Our vision for the technical cycle in the circular economy
Closing the loop: Our vision for the circular economy
We are working towards more “circular” appliances by increasingly considering end-of-life scenarios in our design process. A meaningful step in this direction is the FNXa 522i freezer with BluRoX technology, which already integrates circular design concepts to support easier dismantling, reuse, and recycling.
We are continuously exploring ways to integrate more renewable materials and recyclates while reducing material variety to simplify recycling. Through ongoing research into alternative materials, we aim to make our appliances even more innovative and sustainable.
We collaborate with recycling companies, providing detailed information through labels and databases to optimise the recovery of raw materials. Our participation in public awareness campaigns helps guide customers on the proper disposal of old appliances.
We design durable, high-quality appliances to reduce waste. By guaranteeing spare parts for at least 15 years, we help keep our products in use for longer, reducing environmental impact.
Reducing waste is a priority. We use reusable packaging, optimise material use, and analyse packaging waste from purchased parts to further minimise our impact.
Collaboration is key. We work with suppliers, recyclers, and research institutions to innovate and improve every stage of our product lifecycle.
