Our commitment to environmental responsibility and sustainable business practices.
Building a Greener Future
At Univer Dealz, we believe that business success and environmental responsibility go hand in hand. We're committed to reducing our environmental impact while helping our customers make sustainable choices.
Our Environmental Commitment
Energy Efficiency First
We prioritize stocking energy-efficient appliances with high EU energy ratings, helping customers reduce their energy consumption and utility bills.
Sustainable Packaging
We work with manufacturers to minimize packaging waste and use recyclable materials whenever possible. We're continuously improving our packaging practices.
Optimized Logistics
We optimize our shipping routes and work with carriers committed to reducing emissions. Consolidating shipments helps minimize our carbon footprint.
Responsible Disposal
We provide guidance on proper disposal and recycling of old appliances, supporting the EU's circular economy initiatives.
Energy-Efficient Products
Home appliances account for a significant portion of household energy use. By choosing energy-efficient appliances, you can:
Reduce Energy Consumption
A-rated appliances use significantly less energy than older models
Lower Utility Bills
Save money over the lifetime of your appliance
Reduce Carbon Footprint
Lower energy use means fewer greenhouse gas emissions
Tip: Look for the EU Energy Label on all our products. We display energy ratings prominently so you can make informed, eco-friendly choices.
Understanding EU Energy Labels
The EU energy label helps you identify the most efficient products. Here's what the ratings mean:
| Rating | Efficiency Level | Impact |
|---|---|---|
| A | Most Efficient | Lowest energy consumption and costs |
| B | Very Efficient | Excellent energy performance |
| C | Efficient | Good energy performance |
| D | Average | Moderate energy use |
| E-G | Less Efficient | Higher energy consumption |
Recycling Your Old Appliances
When replacing an old appliance, proper disposal is important for the environment. Old appliances contain materials that can be recycled and potentially harmful substances that must be disposed of safely.
WEEE Directive
Under EU law (WEEE Directive), old electrical equipment must be properly recycled. Many components can be recovered and reused.
Local Collection Points
Most municipalities have designated collection points for old electrical appliances. Check with your local waste management authority.
Retailer Take-Back
In many EU countries, retailers are required to accept old appliances when you purchase a new one. Ask about this option.
Our Ongoing Initiatives

Continuous Improvement
Sustainability is an ongoing journey. We regularly review and improve our practices to reduce environmental impact.
Tips for Sustainable Appliance Use
- Run full loads: Washing machines and dishwashers are most efficient when full.
- Use eco modes: Many appliances have energy-saving programs that use less water and electricity.
- Regular maintenance: Keep appliances clean and well-maintained for optimal efficiency.
- Proper temperature settings: Don't overcool your fridge or overheat your water.
- Unplug when not in use: Even in standby mode, appliances consume energy.
- Choose the right size: Oversized appliances waste energy. Select what suits your needs.
