How can use my appliances in a more eco-friendly way and reduce my carbon emissions?

Life-cycle analyses of household appliances have shown that the way we use our appliances has a major impact on the environment. During an appliance’s lifetime of 10 to 15 years, it consumes resources such as water and electricity and contaminates our water with detergents.

Here you’ll find some general tips to help you use your appliances in a more eco-friendly way, reduce your environmental impact and save time and money, enabling you to enjoy your appliances for longer.

  • The most sustainable and climate-neutral kilowatt-hour of energy is the one that isn’t used at all!
  • You can also support the transition away from fossil fuels by opting for renewable energy instead. Contact your energy supplier or generate your own electricity, for example by installing your own photovoltaic system.
  • You can reduce your individual carbon footprint by buying seasonal, local, unprocessed, plant-based and organic foods, eating fewer meat-based meals, and avoiding food waste.
  • Use energy-saving and eco functions, even when they take a little longer. Sprints use a lot more energy and water.
