Electrolux is focusing on increasing the share of recycled material in its products.
Some products in Small Appliance's Green Range of vacuum cleaners contain up to 70% of post-consumer plastic, up from the maximum 55% in 2010. The volume of recycled material used in European factories has increased over 17 times in a six-year period.
