Beko said it has embarked on the path towards a circular economy, understanding that every journey begins with a single step. From the moment a new appliance is purchased, our dedication to sustainability is evident.
In a statement Beko said: “We believe that utilising recycled materials in the production of our appliances is an important step in reducing our reliance on finite natural resources, as well as reducing our carbon footprint and embracing a circular approach.
“Designed to reduce plastic pollution Beko’s RecycledTub washing machines and washer/dryers use recycled plastic bottles, accounting for up to 10% of each tub’s materials.”
The statement continued: “Innovative technologies have enabled us to repurpose fishing nets and industrial thread waste into high-performance materials, as seen in certain parts used in Beko’s RecycledNet ovens. And these are just a few examples of the use of recycled plastic materials in our products.
“Our dedicated research and development teams are continually looking to find new, usable supplies from recycled materials that can be incorporated into the production of future appliances.”
In order to extend the lifespan of its appliances and reduce waste, Beko aims to simplify appliance repairs for its customers, through a 10-year spare parts guarantee, available on selected Beko appliances.
Beko continued: “Our service division is fully equipped to handle appliance repairs, regardless of guarantee status, completing an impressive 200,000 service repairs each year. For those out of guarantee, we offer fixed-price repairs including labour and parts, allowing our customers to make an informed choice as to whether repair is the best option for them.
“Consumers who are capable of repairing their own appliances are able to extend the lifetimes of their products themselves, with the past year seeing Beko process 21,000 spare part orders to support the DIY market.”
