BSH has been one of the main drivers in the home appliance industry to improve the energy efficiency of products, which has led to drastic savings in energy consumption. Moreover, BSH has successively improved the resource efficiency in production, logistics and administration. By the end of 2020, BSH will be the first company in the home appliance sector to neutralize the direct CO2 emissions of all locations worldwide.
In terms of product design, BSH is breaking new ground to close material cycles. Furthermore, BSH promotes environmentally-compatible recycling technology through standardization.
In order to preserve our planet and its resources, we must think in longer and more sustainable dimensions. BSH is transforming the classic linear economic model into a circular system. This is associated with numerous changes affecting the manufacturing, use, take-back and recycling of our products. BSH is engaging in this development to offer consumers high quality products that are as sustainable and environmentally friendly as possible.
For BSH, realizing the idea of circularity means: From a one-way-road “Production – Use – Disposal” to a closed cycle “Production – Use – Repair – Remanufacturing – Reuse – Recycling”.
