A challenge for Electrolux is to increase the share of recycled material in its products.

Some products in Small Appliance's Green Range of vacuum cleaners contain up to 65% of post-consumer plastic, up from the maximum 55% in 2010. The volume of recycled material used for the range has increased over 14 times in a five-year period.
