More than three-quarters of the energy used by domestic appliances is consumed during use. With the Australian architecture and interior design industry increasingly conscious of the role it has to play in this country’s response to the climate emergency, it’s food for thought. And it’s something Miele has been actively addressing for more than two decades.
In fact, in that period alone, Miele has achieved reductions averaging around 50 percent in the energy and water consumption of its appliances. And, in line with its motto ‘Immer besser’ (Forever better), the global company is doing this without sacrificing on performance.
This drive for optimal consumption in tandem with optimal results isn’t new either. From day one, the core of Miele’s product philosophy has been to manufacture to the highest quality and with a long service life, using premium-quality materials and sophisticated production methods. Where possible, those materials are also recyclable and, often, secondary raw materials.
With the latest technological innovations at its disposal, Miele has no plans to stop pushing the boundaries of sustainable design and manufacturing, as both a member of the UN sustainability organisation Global Compact
