Environmental Engineering

Environmentally responsible engineering is efficient engineering. Doing more with less. Creating machines that are made of fewer materials and consume less energy, but perform better and last longer. A mix of technological leaps and many small steps. Revolution and evolution in order to improve.

Following a Carbon Trust assessment in 2006, Dyson UK has put in place numerous measures to improve the environmental impact of its facilities.

Energy saving

The energy we use to heat, cool and light our buildings accounts for a large proportion of the Dyson carbon footprint. To become more efficient, we've been working with the Carbon Trust. Measures include switching off lights and appliances that aren't in use and fixing temperature in our offices in the UK and Malaysia.

Old desktop computers are being replaced by more efficient laptops. And in the kitchens of Dyson's UK offices you'll find Quookers - special kitchen taps which give you instant boiling water in the exact quantities you want.

Waste reduction

Recycling points are dotted round our offices. All desk-side bins have been removed so that we stop and think before we throw. Used paper, glass, cans, plastic bottles and batteries are recycled.


Green Energy

Our Research and Development Centre in Malmesbury, UK, is powered by electricity generated by wind, hydro and bio-mass, as are the offices in Cologne.

Encouraging Biodiversity

At our UK headquarters a woodland walk orbits the building, passing badger setts, newt ponds and mistletoe-laden woodland.
