REDUCED ENERGY 

CONSUMPTION

The lifecycle studies we’ve done show that a third of the 
environmental impact of a vacuum cleaner comes from the 
handling and manufacturing of the materials in it. Less than 
3 percent is attributed to transportation. The rest is due to 
the energy that the vacuum cleaner consumes when in use.
That’s why we’re constantly working to reduce the energy 
consumption of our vacuum cleaners. For a cordless 
product like Ergorapido, the  energy consumption takes 
place during charging and in standby. To minimise the 
consumption in those phases, we are only using chargers 
that automatically switch off when the battery is full and 
consume low energy in standby.

GET A CLEANER HOME, 

AND GREENER WORLD

Isn’t it nice to know that you get the same excellent dust 
pickup as with our best Ergorapido? All AEG Green 
vacuum cleaners offer supreme performance.  

 cient, quiet, easy to handle and store – in short, 

everything you expect from the best of vacuum cleaners. 
And they are environmentally responsible. Our approach 
to making green vacuum cleaners is simple: you shouldn’t 
have to compromise on cleaning performance.

YOUR GREEN OPTION 

FOR THE WEEKLY CLEANING

Our quest to offer Green options for your cleaning needs 
includes also a range of canister vacuum cleaners for your 
weekly cleaning. Depending on the model, they can save up 
to 50% energy compared to an average 2,000 W vacuum 
cleaner – and get the job done at least as well. And for the 
models using bags, on most markets you can act green 
even when buying the bag. The s-bag® Green ensures an 
even level of high performance by the vacuum cleaner, while 
the environmental impact is radically reduced. The bag is 
made from corn and uses up to 65% less petroleum and 
contributes 68% less greenhouse gases to the atmosphere 
than traditional plastic materials.

SAVING 

ENERGY

 YOU CAN  

 

DO MORE:

Want a cleaner world? Start at home. To make a better 
world, what counts are all the “small” green steps we all can 
make in our everyday lives. 

Besides choosing a green vacuum cleaner, there are lots 

of things you can do to make your home greener. Here 
are some of the ways that can help make your life and 
your home a little more environmentally responsible.

  Most of the time you don’t need to use appliances at the 

maximum setting – a vacuum cleaner, for example, doesn’t 
necessarily clean better on certain surfaces when set to  
max compared to a medium setting.

  Switching off the TV and other appliances rather than 

leaving them in stand-by mode saves surprisingly much 
energy over time.

  If you live in a cold climate, reducing the indoor 

temperature by just 1 or 2°C drastically reduces energy 
consumption.

Change to low-energy lamps, and don’t leave lights on 

when they’re not needed.

  Find out how the recycling systems work in your area. 

Find a good solution with separate bins for different kinds 

 ts into your everyday life. 

Recycling saves energy and valuable resources.

  Water-saving taps work very well. You can also save 

water by not letting it run unnecessarily.

  Choose eco-labelled laundry detergents and dishwasher 

detergents. This helps reduce chemicals that are harmful to 
nature. Don’t throw chemicals into the toilet or the garbage 

 nd out where to deposit them safely.

OF COURSE WE ARE ALSO 

GREENWASHING – SWITCH UP 

TO OUR GREEN APPLIANCES

True to our philosophy of making everyday appliances a 
little greener, it’s not only our vacuum cleaners that come 
in green versions. We also offer kitchen and laundry
appliances that go a long way towards a greener world. 
In fact, studies show that if everyone in Europe would switch 
switch their 10-year-old household appliances to modern 
energy-saving models, the annual emissions of CO

2

 would be

be reduced by 22 million tons. That’s why we offer washing
 machines and dryers with settings that save energy and
water. And the biggest energy saving effect is to replace 
old refrigerators and freezers with new ones, since these 
appliances run 24 hours

Green fact: One of our canister vacuum 

cleaner models in the Green range 

uses 50% less energy than an average 

2,000 W vacuum cleaner. If you were to 

vacuum an hour a week for ten years, 

you would save enough to burn a 60 W 

lamp day and night for 234 days. To put 

it another way, you would reduce CO

2

 

emissions by 294 kg.
