Consumers

New items by Groupe SEB are over 70% recyclable.

High quality products you keep for a long time. They are often more attractive, and their life span makes the initial cost pay off and limits waste. A list of approved repairers is included with the instructions. And our After-Sale Service promises quick assistance in the event of a problem. In 2009, the Group has begun to harmonize the conditions of its products guarantees internationally.

The standby mode of your appliances account for about 15% of your total electricity consumption. The average standby power consumption of our products designed in 2010 is 0.56 watts. They also consume less and less energy during their use. For example, products in Rowenta's Eco intelligence range use 30% less energy than equivalent classic products. 

Some Groupe SEB products offer programming options that help cut their power consumption (e.g.: the adjustable-temperature TEFAL kettles). Think about them !

Groupe SEB rejects Human rights violations and over exploitation of the environment. It guarantees the quality of its products, respect the environment at every stage of production and respect for its employees in every country.

When your products reach the end of their useful lives, take them back to a designated collection point. 
Distributors are required to collect them. You can also take them to humanitarian organisations like Emmaus, which repairs them and gives them a second life. 

Batteries are extremely toxic. Think about using rechargeable ones. You'll save money and help to protect the environment. if that is not practical solution, dispose of your batteries in an adequate scrap bin (supermarket, waste dump, etc.).

Groupe SEB is working on totally recyclable packaging. But you can already take your cardboard and plastic materials to the nearest waste dump.
