What is recyclability?

Recycling is everyone's business. To be effective, it requires three conditions:

Potential recyclability

Products designed to be more easily recyclable

Recycling channels

So that at the end of their life, the materials in our products are valorized

How do we do it?

Our range of eco-designed products has therefore been created so that when products get to the sorting centre they are as recyclable as possible, and therefore recycled as much as possible when recycling channels exists.

Recyclable materials

We choose materials that are recyclable in current recycling systems where possible. Our eco-designed products are potentially recyclable to at least 50% and on average beyond 80% - as a percentage of the final mass of the product.

Product design

When designing our products, we make sure that as many parts as possible can be disassembled at the end of their life, in order to be able to recover the different materials and allow them to be recycled more easily.

How to recycle your products?

For small domestic appliances, find the collection and sorting centres closest to you!
For cookware products, recycling initiatives are organized regularly through our distribution networks. Alternatively, you can drop them in your nearest collection and sorting centre.

Since 2012, Tefal has collected more than 1.2 million used pots and pans, that's 400 tonnes of aluminium recovered and reused to make new products.

Our eco-design criteria

The life cycle analysis of our products allowed us to identify
5 eco-design priorities to reduce our impacts:
