One of the world’s leading appliance manufacturers Electrolux has a natural interest in recycling plastic to meet the demand for sustainable vacuum cleaners and is proud to announce the launch of its 2011 Green Vacuum Cleaner Range.
Made from 55 per cent recycled plastics, the Electrolux Green Vacuum Cleaner Range aims to
demonstrate the organisation’s ongoing commitment to creating sustainable products for the home
with recyclable materials.
Electrolux is striving to develop home appliances made from greater amounts of recycled materials
however faces a limited source of recyclable materials.
In a bid to combat the scarcity of recycled plastics, Electrolux leads the global Vac from the Sea
initiative which gathers plastic from the world’s oceans to create a series of one-off vacuum cleaners
made from marine plastic debris. The initiative brings attention to the issue of plastic pollution whilst at the same time addressing the lack of recycled plastics needed for creating sustainable products for future generations.
“The Pacific Ocean is polluted with the largest floating garbage islands in the world. Yet on land, we struggle to get hold of enough recycled plastics to meet the demand for sustainable vacuum cleaners and Vac from the Sea aims to highlight this issue,” says Julian Huitfeldt, Electrolux Product Marketing Manager, Floor Care and Small Appliances.
“In its quest to create sustainable products for the home with the recyclable materials currently
available, Electrolux has launched its Green 2011 Vacuum Cleaner range made from 55 per cent
recycled plastics. More recycling translates into more sustainable appliances and homes – our ultimate vision is using 100 per cent recycled plastic for all our vacuum cleaners,” continued Huitfeldt.

Packaged within 100 per cent recycled material, the 2011 Green range of vacuum cleaners all have
energy efficient, high performance motors that can save up to 40 percent energy compared to an
average 2000 watt vacuum cleaner and significantly reduce the household energy bill.
The Electrolux 2011 Green Vacuum Cleaner Range includes:
UltraActive Green RRP $399
UltraSilencer Green RRP $399
To raise awareness of the plastic waste issue, the Electrolux ‘Vac from the Sea’ initiative creates innovative oneoff vacuum cleaners made from 100% marine plastic debris. Pacific Ocean edtion (2nd from right), as well as the Indian Ocean, Atlantic, Mediterranean, Baltic and North Sea.
