Recycled Aluminum
By committing to only use 100% recycled aluminum*, we reduce our product emissions.

What is the eco-design approach by T-fal?
It is about offering you products with a reduced environmental impact, without compromising their performance or the services they provide to you every day.
Designed for lower impact
Thoughtful design choices that help reduce emissions,
waste, and unnecessary packaging.
- We use high performance 100% recycled Aluminum body which reduces CO2 Emission by up to 94% vs. extraction of new aluminum
- By using recycled cardboards, as opposed to new cardboards, prevents up to 1000 trees used annually
- There are no plastic bags in our packaging, over 10M plastic bags saved from the ECO-system annually.
Understanding a product's impact
It all starts with a better understanding of the environmental impact of our products, from the extraction of the resources needed to manufacture them, right to their end of life. To do this, we have carried our Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) on the majority of our product families.
The breakdown of emissions by category is shown in the diagram below. For Groupe SEB products, the greatest carbon impacts come from the use phase and the extraction of raw materials
