Indesit have announced 2 new washing machines to join their Hotpoint lines, the Indesit Aquarius and Indesit Ultima. In addition to the common features such as water and energy efficient usage, these washing machines are actually constructed from recycled materials.
Indesit have developed a project to recycle shredded plastic waste from old refrigerators and turn the plastic into a high grade and usable polymer. This reduces CO2 emissions, cost, and the volume of raw materials needed to build a new washing machine. The washing machines are packed with the usual features such as programmable washing and advanced interfaces, making it a desirable green gadget.
Indesit are very active when it comes to washing machine patents, but it’s refreshing to see some environmentally friendly innovation too!
