2030 Target: Make clothes last twice as long with half the environmental impact
By demonstrating better garment care, we aim to help people extend the wearability of their clothes while halving the environmental footprint of their aftercare.
The Better Living Program is a 11-year action plan by Electrolux that aims to shape better and more sustainable living around the world. Its focus is an evolving list of 100 bold actions that we pledge to undertake by 2030. These actions represent our commitment to the four clear targets we have defined across the categories of Better Eating, Better Garment Care, Better Home Environment and Better Company.
By demonstrating better garment care, we aim to help people extend the wearability of their clothes while halving the environmental footprint of their aftercare.
To guide us towards our target, we will seek to drive product innovations, educate consumers, undertake further research, and form meaningful partnerships. Our focus areas for Better Garment Care are:
- Prolong the lifetime of garments by modernising care technology and care habits
- Reduce the environmental impact of garment care
- Enable care for all fabrics
- Contribute to more sustainable fashion consumption models
