Indesit uses recycled materials in its washing machines

indesit.jpgWashing machine manufacturer Indesit is now sourcing the plastic that it uses for the front plates of two of it’s top of the range machines, the Aquarius and Ultima.  The plates are being manufactured from shredded plastic waste recovered from domestic fridges.  The waste is made into a high grade polymer with a similar weight to the virgin plastic it’s replacing.

Buying goods from manufacturers who use recycled materials help to close the recycling loop.
