THANKS TO OUR SUSTAINABILITY PARTNERS


AMDEA’s members are committed to delivering a more sustainable future which supports the delivery of net zero homes. Sustainability is a key driver of innovation, positively reducing the environmental impact of appliances, from design and manufacture, through usage, repair, recycling and recovery of precious resources. Our sector is striving to ensure that all phases of an appliance’s life contributes positively to achieving a circular economy.


Over the last 20 years AMDEA members have dramatically and continuously


reduced the energy and water consumption of home appliances. An increasing percentage of recycled materials are used to make new appliances and the energy used in production is increasingly derived from renewable sources. Appliances consume the greatest percentage of their energy in the ‘usage’


phase – up to 80 per cent of the total. AMDEA’s Know Watt’s What campaign aims to educate householders to use their appliances in the most efficient and sustainable ways. Providing consumers understand and use the eco-saving technologies designed into the products already in their homes, more than 130 million essential appliances across the UK will collectively make a major contribution to reducing energy and water consumption, supporting the challenge of reaching net zero, as well as saving significant amounts on energy bills.

At the ERT Turning Point Live Conference and ERT Awards event, AMDEA shared an insightful video as a trade tool from its Know Watt’s What campaign. The video is used to help boost retailers’ advice to customers on how to choose and use the energy and water saving features built in to today’s appliances.
