In order to ensure that the materials going into Electrolux products are sustainable and sound:

• We optimize material use in the manufacturing of our products for resource efficiency and easy recyclability.
• Our Restricted Materials List (RML) defines which chemicals are banned and restricted in our products.
• Our chemicals management system outlines how to handle chemicals used in the production of our products. It is a part of the ISO 14001 certification process.
• We strive to be a step ahead of legislation, such as EU’s RoHS and similar laws in China, Japan and the US.

Direct material input consists mainly of steel, plastics and components. Material utilization in production is continually improving, while hazardous waste and waste to land-fill are being reduced year to year.

All hazardous waste (mainly oils, solvents and other chemicals) is managed in accordance to local regulations.

Electrolux manufacturing is the final phase in a chain of suppliers. To protect the interests of our consumers and employees, we must have knowledge of the substances that go into our products. Our RML is designed to facilitate this.
