Sustainability takes shape

For Smeg, sustainability is much more than a choice: it is a concrete commitment to the future of our planet. Every gesture counts, and every product is designed to last, reduce waste and respect the environment.

Our commitment

SUSTAINABLE PACKAGING

TRITAN™ RENEW MATERIAL

Sustainable packaging

Responsible packaging

Smeg is committed to making packaging increasingly sustainable so that not only do products meet high quality standards, but packaging is also in line with corporate values.

Biodegradable Viscose

Since 2022, where possible, we have started to replace plastic elements inside packaging (e.g. bags, polystyrene shells, etc.) with more sustainable alternative materials, whilst still maintaining the ability to protect the product during the various stages of transport.
Traditional plastic bags have been replaced with a viscose alternative: a biodegradable, plant-based material derived from wood pulp that offers an eco-friendly alternative.

FSC® certified paper and cardboard

All paper components of the packaging, including the instructions, are made with FSC® certified materials, sourced from responsibly managed forests.
In addition, all single-use plastics have been eliminated, further reducing the environmental impact.

Water-based inks

We only use water-based inks to print the packaging, replacing traditional finishes such as UV treatments and plastic lamination. This makes the packaging more easily recyclable and safer for the environment.

Tritan™ Renew material

What is Tritan™ Renew?

It is a cutting-edge material, made with at least 50% certified recycled content* thanks to a molecular recycling process. This method, in addition to allowing the recovery of difficult-to-recycle plastic, transforming it into a new high-quality and uncontaminated resource, allows the avoidance of the use of fossil raw materials.
*The recycled content is certified through the ISCC (International Sustainability & Carbon Certification) mass balance system.

Reduction of waste

With Tritan™ Renew, plastic that would otherwise end up in landfill is recovered and reused, in favour of the development of a sustainable, circular economy and the reduction of the use of fossil resources.

High resistance and durability

Tritan™ Renew is a virtually unbreakable material, designed to last over time.

Food safe

Free of BPA, BPS and BPF, it is an ideal material for food use.

Crystalline transparency

Tritan™ Renew has a glass-like appearance and resists odours and flavours.

Product lifecycle from plastic bottle, to PET flakes, to the final product

A more circular future

Adopting Tritan™ Renew means making a conscious choice: less waste, less fossil resources, more respect for the environment.

Certification

Smeg products made with Tritan™ Renew contain at least 50% certified recycled material*, according to the ISCC Plus standard.
This international certification guarantees the traceability of materials and compliance with rigorous environmental criteria throughout the production process.
*The recycled content is certified according to the ISCC (International Sustainability & Carbon Certification) mass balance system.

A clearly visible impact!

Each component in Tritan™ Renew is equivalent to single-use plastic bottles* that will not end up in the environment. Scroll through the images to discover how much plastic waste has been recovered to make the Tritan™ Renew components in Smeg appliances!
