AEG AEG AEG Green fact: Every AEG Ergorapido Green saves about 1.5 litres of crude oil and more than 65 litres of water during the manufacturing process. 90% less energy is needed to produce the parts compared to making them from virgin plastic.
SAVING ENERGY REDUCED ENERGY CONSUMPTION YOUR GREEN OPTION FOR THE WEEKLY CLEANING The lifecycle studies we’ve done show that a third of the environmental impact of a vacuum cleaner comes from the handling and manufacturing of the materials in it. Less than 3 percent is attributed to transportation. The rest is due to the energy that the vacuum cleaner consumes when in use. That’s why we’re constantly working to reduce the energy consumption of our vacuum cleaners.
YOU CAN DO MORE: Want a cleaner world? Start at home. To make a better world, what counts are all the “small” green steps we all can make in our everyday lives. Besides choosing a green vacuum cleaner, there are lots of things you can do to make your home greener. Here are some of the ways that can help make your life and your home a little more environmentally responsible.
