Together with Electrolux, we set the ambitious goal of designing and producing a vacuum cleaner that is “made to be re-made”. A completely recyclable vacuum cleaner made from 100% recycled plastic and recycled components.

When we began our journey, we couldn’t have dreamt that we would come so far. The vacuum cleaner is made from 100% recycled consumer plastic and re-used components. So far, it is a prototype, but we have shown that it is possible to turn the vision into reality. This is a milestone on the road towards circular products.
The team involved in the project has also identified how to make the vacuum cleaner recyclable by for example avoiding mixing different types of plastic. The next step will be to look at what more can be achieved in the design phase by designing for recycling.

Together with Electrolux, we began a close collaboration where the goal was to create a 100% recyclable vacuum cleaner made from 100% recycled plastic. Something no one has accomplished as we know of.

When it comes to successfully achieving sustainable manufacturing, the biggest challenge is to start seeing design, production and recycling as a whole – not as separate flows. This was just one of many important insights that we discovered in our collaboration with Electrolux.

Handled in the right way, plastic can become a circular material. The process is already technically possible, but getting there isn’t so easy. So, our collaboration with Electrolux is also about leading the way and showing the benefits when two industries can work together successfully.

Materials and components come directly from our advanced recycling facility Stena Nordic Recycling Center in Halmstad.
The recycled plastic is of a very high quality. We have also discovered that lots of components taken from discarded electrical appliances have a long service life left. Of all the vacuum cleaner motors tested in the project, the majority had 80 percent service life left. Cord reels and indicators for vacuum cleaner bags are examples of other components that can often be reused.
The team behind this successful project includes sustainability experts, engineers and product designers. Both the production of new parts from recycled plastic and the assembly of the entire vacuum cleaner have taken place in Sweden.
The plan now is to test the model to optimize its functionality and service life in everyday use. It has already undergone the same laboratory tests as mass-produced vacuum cleaners, which has given us important insights.
We have reached the first goal of our journey towards 100%. Stay tuned for the sequel!
The entire vacuum cleaner is made from recycled plastic from post-consumer products and re-used parts.
