Braun Sustainable Design

Helping homes across the world have less of an impact on the world.

While good design might be long-lasting, not everything in this world shares that trait. Waste has become a part of our every day. Because right now, waste is easy. If the equipment falters or the food looks less than perfect, discarding and buying new feels like the easiest step. When obsolescence is part of everyday design, it becomes a part of everyday life, too. We know the decisions made every day in every single home have the power to change the world.

That’s why at Braun, we’re making the decisions easier for you.

80% of a product’s environmental impact is determined at the design stage

That’s why it is important to have a systemic approach to product development following our new Group Eco-Design Guidelines, a manual developed in cooperation with experts of Politecnico di Milano that set the basis of strategic knowledge of a new - generation of eco-efficient appliances. As a step forward 70% of our newly developed products will be covered by this Eco-Design Guideline from 2023 on.

Minimisation

Energy and material consumption as well as material toxicity and harmfulness shall be minimised.

Optimisation

Life of products and components and material conservation/renewability shall be optimised.

Facilitation

Recycling and disassembly of material shall be facilitated.

We believe that good design can make lives better.

Back in the 70s Dieter Rams developed Braun’s memorable design language and defined 10 principles of good design that are still relevant today. While these principles have been a part of our DNA from the start, we’re always looking to the future.

Good Design is environmentally friendly.

We aim to use as little resources as possible and work on increasing the usage of materials in our products that are either recycled, recyclable, or both.

Moving forward, we are working on having at least 30%* of recycled plastic over the total plastic used in newly developed/upcoming products as of 2027 according to our commitment regarding material recycling.

Moreover, we have already saved more than 100 tons of paper through the partial digitalisation of our user instruction manuals for products globally sold in 2022. Also, there was no EPS (Synthesized Expanded Polystyrene) in the packaging of 95% of the Braun products sold in 2024.

*Excluded plastic for food contact application.

Good Design is useful.

Which is why all of ours help you get the most use out of the things you have, like turning wrinkly fruit and veg into delicious meals.

Meer dan 60 jaar in gebruik.

55 jaar geleden kreeg ik drie Braun-apparaten als cadeau toen mijn dochter werd geboren: een mixer, een sapcentrifuge en een fruitpers. Ik gebruik al deze apparaten bijna elke dag sinds 1960. Dus ik wil jullie bedanken voor de geweldige kwaliteit en al die jaren gebruik zonder enige reparaties.

1998-ban vettünk egy Braun Combimax 700 ételkészítőt. Feleségem hobbi szinten főz, így majdnem minden nap használta. És nem csak egyszer vagy kétszer, hanem néha több mint 2 vagy 3 órát – természetesen szünetekkel! Kb. 10 év után azt kérdeztük magunktól, hogy még meddig fogja bírni. 2008-ban vettünk egy új ételkészítőt – természetesen egy Braun Combimax 700-at – arra az esetre, ha az eredeti már nem működne, de tökéletesen működött tovább. Majd, 2014. szeptember 25-én (!!!), végre feladta a szolgálatot 16 és fél év után! Összegve: 198 hónap x 25 nap.
