How we minimize e-waste from vacuum cleaners

Educate

We strip away the marketing bullshit and empower people with the knowledge to choose the most efficient, practical, and sustainable vacuum cleaners for their homes.

Universal Body

We will redesign and introduce an universal vacuum cleaner body that supports interchangeable motors, hoses, and electrical cables, offering unmatched flexibility and customization using harvested & new parts.

Repairability Scoring

We will offer an independant scoring alternative to the European repairability index that vacuum producers must self-report. We all know that self-reporting by commercial makers is a flawed concept.

Repair & Refurbish

We support and promote initiatives that encourage the reuse, repair, and refurbishment of used vacuum cleaners and their parts.
