ISE - Non-disposable washing machine
ISE have designed their washing machine so that it can be repaired, again and again and again - as if that seems like a novel idea. But it is! Did you know that over 200 000 additional washing machines go to land fill every year not because they cannot be repaired, but because it’s too expensive to fix them? As retail prices of white goods continue to fall, more and more people see them as disposable commodities.

Whilst the cost of the ISE washer is relatively expensive compared to a cheap machine, they throw in installation and a five year parts and labour guarantee for free. What’s more, when the machine does reach the end of its life, ISE strive to limit the environmental damage by collecting the carcass and taking it for refurbishment and recycling through community organisations. You can buy one at whitegoods.co.uk for £499.
