We dismantled a plastic kettle and calculated it’s environmental impact through GreenFly Online.
The product being manufactured in China results in transport having a large environmental impact and the everyday use creates great use of water and electricity over time. The heating element is the subassembly that has the greatest footprint due to it’s weight and manufacturing process.
This project gave great insight in to how much impact a simple household kettle can have, I would hate to think what the environmental impact larger appliances would.
