The Vacuum's Environmental Impact

In terms of environmentalism, the wired handheld vacuum is in many ways a green product. Production of this vacuum has low negative impact on the environment.
First of all, the vacuum’s design is very simple, it’s just a motor and a filter inside plastic casing. So production requires very little material. The vacuum is also made out of recycled materials in the first place; and because of the nature of its usage, downcycled plastics can, and most likely are, used in production. Some of you might ask what are downcycled plastics and how can this be a good thing. Well, after a certain point good quality plastics (like food packaging) can’t be recycled anymore, at least not for the same purposes. What happens then is these plastics are used in other products that don’t require a high grade plastic like clothing, plastic lumber, and in this case a vacuum. So in a way, this product helps lengthen the life cycle of plastics. 
After the product serves its purpose, almost every part of the handheld vacuum can be reused or recycled.The plastic casing and motor mounts can be remanufactured, or reused if not much damage was done to them, or recycled in the worst case. The same goes with the motor which is made out of metal, one of the most recyclable materials on earth. The only exception is the consumable filter which should be disposed off, and even that could be composted if the user had chosen to use one made out of natural fibers. 
More popular competitors of this handheld vacuum usually come cordless with a rechargeable battery. Even though that could make it more convenient for a user, batteries are hazardous and are difficult to dispose off without harming the environment. Considering all these facts, we can conclude that this wired handheld vacuum is a great choice for the environmentally conscious consumer.
