With products featuring innovative technology designed to reduce energy and water consumption, Beko Appliance Partners provide an attractive, environmentally-conscious proposition for developers and their customers alike
Sustainability continues to be a key focus for the housebuilding industry, driven by heightened environmental awareness and a commitment to preserving resources to enhance the quality of life for future generations, and further necessitated by government regulations. The upcoming implementation of the Future Homes Standard in 2025 has placed significant focus on constructing homes that reduce ecological impact during the building phase, while also ensuring efficient energy use and supporting long-term environmental health post-occupation.
Appliance providers play a pivotal role in this ecosystem, complementing sustainable living with products which consume less energy and water without compromising on performance. Beko, the UK’s no. 1 best-selling home appliance manufacturer, is achieving notable progress in advancing sustainable change, integrating environmentally-conscious practices across its operations and product ranges. The company’s holistic approach to sustainability focuses on minimising environmental impact, enhancing energy efficiency, and fostering a circular economy. This commitment continues to garner consistent recognition, with the latest accolade being a position on TIME Magazine’s inaugural list of the World’s Most Sustainable Companies. Ranked 44th overall, Beko stand out as the highest-ranked appliance company on the prestigious list.
Beko Appliance Partners offer providers of new homes with competitively-priced, yet highly functional and aesthetic appliance solutions featuring a multitude of innovative technologies designed to improve energy efficiency and water consumption. Beko’s new EnergySpin washing machine technology, for example, delivers energy savings of up to 35% across all everyday wash cycles, not just the machine’s ‘Eco’ setting, using specially-designed drum movements to dissolve detergent more effectively while optimising heat usage. This advanced technology allows consumers to reduce their household energy consumption, saving money and lowering their carbon footprints.
In line with the company’s sustainability objectives, Beko uses recycled materials in a number of its products, repurposing them into high performance, durable materials. Plastic bottles account for up to 10% of the materials used in the PET tub in Beko’s RecycledTub® washing machines and washer dryers, whilst fishing nets and industrial thread waste are transformed into components in Beko’s RecycledNet® ovens. The use of recycled components not only decreases the demand for virgin raw materials, but also contributes to more effective waste management.
Promoting a circular economy is a key aspect of Beko’s sustainability approach, with the company focusing on designing products that are durable, repairable, and recyclable. Beko Appliance Partners are able to offer housebuilders and developers an optional extended 5-year labour guarantee in addition to Beko’s standard 10-year parts guarantee available on most products. These generous guarantees demonstrate Beko’s confidence in the durability of its products, which are stress tested to the extreme to ensure they are able to withstand the rigours of modern living. Additionally, Beko actively participates in recycling programs, ensuring that end-of-life products are disposed of responsibly and their components are reused whenever possible.
Beko has set ambitious targets for reducing its overall carbon emissions. The company is transitioning to renewable energy sources for its manufacturing plants and investing in energy-efficient logistics solutions as part of a broader strategy to achieve carbon neutrality and mitigate the effects of climate change.
