ENERGY SAVINGS
Power doesn’t
equal excess consumption!
Rowenta has supported and paved the way for European regulations such as ECODESIGN and ECOLABEL, which impose new energy saving and efficiency standards on vacuum cleaner manufacturers: in Europe, vacuum cleaner power has been limited to 1600 watts since 2014, and to 900 watts in 2017.
100% of the new Rowenta vacuum cleaners meet these standards, and Rowenta is expanding its efforts to other product categories.

Did you know?
Why is it urgent for us to act? Just imagine that in Europe, 288 million vacuum cleaners represent 6.6 million tons of CO2, the equivalent of 3.3 million cars.
From A+++ to D, it measures energy consumption. You can find at least an A energy efficiency note on all our vacuum cleaners’ labels.
In one household, 50% of power consumption stems from kitchen, entertainment, and comfort appliances.
USE OF RECYCLED MATERIALS
TO SUSTAINABLY INNOVATE
Today, Rowenta is increasingly integrating recycled materials into its products.
MADE IN France
After three years of research, for the first time in France, Rowenta, Eco Systèmes, and Veolia have implemented the first complete circular economy cycle for small household appliances.
In 2015, through this partnership, Rowenta presented the Silence Steam generator, made fromrecycled household appliances*, whose lower housing is entirely manufactured with recycled polypropylene. Plastic, stainless steel, aluminum... Silence Steam and its packaging contain up to 40% recycled material.
Beyond this pioneering project, the collaboration between Rowenta and WWF-France will focus on the ambitious goal of increasing the use of quality recycled materials in Rowenta products and achieving a rate of at least 20% in all of the brand’s new products, accessories, and packaging from now until 2020.
Rowenta designs its products to be as recyclable as possible. The goal is to retrieve as many components as possible in order to reuse them after processing. For example, the Silence Force 4A range of vacuum cleaners has a 92% rate of potential recyclability.
