MATERIALS AND PACKAGING

To become increasingly sustainable, using green materials is not enough. The increasingly environmentally aware consumer expects companies to do everything possible to ensure that the impact of the products they distribute is as small as possible. This requires that the design approach not only of the appliance but also of the packaging becomes eco-design. How? By designing, for example, smart packaging with reduced dimensions that ensure the correct protection of the product and at the same time eliminate any superfluous layer. Smeg's commitment to materials and packaging is developed on the large and small appliance front through a constant search for the best partners

Right from the development stage, Smeg products are designed to meet the most stringent environmental requirements, for example by favouring the use of materials such as steel or glass, which are easier to dispose of.

Adopting the principles of eco design means progressively extending the life of the appliance and simplifying its maintenance. Increasingly important is therefore the use of modular elements such as removable glass in ovens or the replacement of glue with screws.
