Eco-friendly & practical
A household vacuum cleaner designed to minimize e-waste.
We challenge the status quo of wasteful consumer products.
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 Housing
We will redesign and introduce an universal vacuum cleaner housing 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.
Supported by
Dec 2024: Out of 89 entries, FairVacuum has been selected as one of 20 innovative projects recognized by Vlaanderen Circulair and OVAM in their 2024 ‘Design 4 Circularity’ call for pioneering eco-design and circular business models. The 100k€ financial support runs from 2025 to 2026.
Our universal housing action plan
Fair Vacuums are designed to be easily repairable by anyone with basic screwdriver skills, empowering users to maintain their appliances effortlessly.
The universal housing will be compatible with a wide range of motors, hoses, brush heads, and electrical cables, allowing for the reuse and repurposing of components from discarded or partially broken vacuum cleaners. New spare parts will be available for decades, thanks to our support for many off-the-shelf and highly standardized past, current and future components.
