Kärcher sees itself as a market leader that leads by example. Sustainability and environmental protection are firmly rooted in our company philosophy and actions, and are embodied in the company initiative "eco!ogic". With the eco!ogic range, Kärcher has developed a brand-new unit generation which impressively combines sophisticated technology, outstanding power, user-friendly handling and consideration for the environment. The result is highly efficient and resource-conserving quality devices which set new standards.
Our eco!ogic features
A unique selling point and label have been developed for the environmentally friendly products from the Home & Garden range: the brand name "eco!ogic". Only devices that reach the relevant benchmarks are labelled with the brand name and eco logo. There are various "eco" criteria that must be met, each of which has its own icon.

For every eco!ogic pressure washer sold, additional money is donated to building biological water filtration systems all around the world. This means that, with each device sold, 1,000 litres of water in rivers and lakes around the world is cleaned. A success story for nature and the human race!
