Miele and the environment

Miele appliances have longer lives.

Our philosophy is to make appliances that

will last way into the future, so we have

a vested interest in ensuring that there

is a future for them to be around in. The

longevity of Miele appliances in itself is a

major contribution to the idea of conserving

resources and economising on raw

materials. The equation is a simple one:

the longer the operating life of a product,

the less likely the need for new materials

and the energy required in producing a

replacement.

A commitment to our future.

The long life of Miele appliances is legendary

and so too is our commitment to making

sure that we take care of our environment.

Our Research and Development teams

are continually striving to improve the

performance of our appliances at the

same time as conserving resources and

economising on the raw materials used.

Reducing packaging.

When it comes to packaging, our motto

is “as much as necessary, but as little

as possible”. Naturally we make it as

environmentally friendly as we can, and

all our packaging is designed to be

recyclable.

Committed to the environment.

Miele were the first appliance manufacturer

worldwide to receive the Environment

Standard DIN EN ISO 14001 certification

for all its factories.

Energy labelling.

In many homes, refrigerators and freezers

tend to account for a fifth of our household

energy consumption. When purchasing a

new appliance, it is always a good idea to

look for the most energy-efficient model

that suits your needs.

Thanks to the energy label, you can easily

judge how energy efficient each model

is. All manufacturers must label their

appliances in this way, so you can make

an informed decision with economy in

mind.

CFC and HFC free.

The insulation material and coolants used

in Miele’s refrigeration products were

converted to CFC-free and HFC-free

materials long before European guidelines

on banning CFCs and HFCs came into

force.

In Miele‘s refrigeration products, the

harmful substances previously used in the

insulation material have been replaced

with pentane, and the coolant used now is

isobutene R600a. This is an environmentally

friendly, natural gas which does not

damage the ozone layer or increase the

greenhouse effect.

Disposing of old appliances.

Taking care not to damage the appliance

housing or the pipework at the back when

removing an old refrigerator or freezer will

ensure that ozone depleting substances

can be safely extracted by a suitably

qualified refrigeration mechanic before the

appliance is disposed of.
