SMEG ovens, cooktops, coffee machines, ranges, dishwashers, washing machines, hoods, refrigerators, and freezers are all designed with environmental considerations in-mind.
The greatest emphasis is placed on the choice of materials, such as stainless steel, glass, aluminium, and brass, which can be easily-recycled using carefully-planned separate collections.
In addition, SMEG fully-complies with the stipulations of the EU directives RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances), and REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation, and Restriction of Chemical Substances), going further than just the minimum requirements.
RoHS
This directive places stringent restrictions on the use of hazardous materials and substances such as lead, cadmium, mercury, chromium VI, polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs), and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs).
REACH
The REACH regulation concerns the handling of chemical substances, and aims to ensure that human health and the environment are protected to the fullest-extent.
