La durabilité chez Dyson
Les ingénieurs essaient instinctivement d’améliorer l’efficacité et le fonctionnement. Nous essayons toujours de faire plus avec moins, de la bonne manière – que ce soit en ingénierie, en éducation, en agriculture ou les bonnes œuvres.
Rethink
Products and technology
Cyclones, not wasteful bags. High-speed air to dry hands instead of energy-hungry heaters. Invention requires leaps of faith and the desire to try new approaches. By continuously improving every aspect of our technologies, using resources more effectively, we're making increasingly efficient machines.
Reinvented motors
Standard brushed motors are heavy and clunky, consuming more electrical energy. So Dyson set out to engineer one that worked better. The result was the Dyson digital motor, which has allowed us to pioneer new technologies in multiple categories.
-
Cyclone separation
James Dyson first developed cyclone technology for the DC01 vacuum cleaner, reducing the need for wasteful bags. By separating dust from air using centrifugal forces, it didn't need the traditional bag that gets clogged with dust.
-
Software
Dyson's software engineers improve the efficiency, intelligence and onboard performance of Dyson technology for a long-term approach. By looking forwards, Dyson software can help answer the problems others may ignore – pioneering efficient change.

Filters
We engineer high-performance HEPA filters for our purifiers, and found a way to manufacture the filter frame from 85% recycled materials. Our latest machines also have a unique catalytic filter that destroys formaldehyde – and never needs replacing.

We've always done more, with less
We started by removing the bag from the vacuum to prevent loss of suction. This was an engineering decision, and in saying goodbye to the bag, we removed an unnecessary consumable.

Reduce, reuse, recyclone
In 1995, we released our first vacuum made using recycled plastic – the Recyclone™. Recycled products are now widespread, but at the time it was unusual. The process excited our engineers and taught us much about the material properties of recycled plastic.

Vacuum cleaners
Our latest software allows our vacuums to automatically adapt suction on different floor types, increasing power only when needed and reducing it when not.¹ This optimises the efficiency of our machines.

Hand dryers
Single-use paper towels are wasteful. The Dyson Airblade 9kJ hand dryer produces up to 88% less CO₂ emissions than paper towels. And with 388mph sheets of air to dry rather than energy-hungry heating, it's low energy – using just 9.1 kilojoules of energy per dry.

Produire moins de déchets
Faire plus avec moins
Moins nous utilisons de matières premières, moins nous avons besoin de traitements à forte intensité énergétique. À mesure que nous perfectionnons notre technologie et que les gens utilisent les énergies renouvelables, le fruit sera encore plus mûr.
Des technologies efficaces
C’est en améliorant la technologie de base et en optimisant l’utilisation des ressources que nous arrivons à faire plus avec moins, fabriquant des machines de plus en plus efficaces.
L’invention nécessite un acte de foi et une quête de nouvelles méthodes – des cyclones au lieu de sacs gaspilleurs et de l’air à grande vitesse au lieu de chauffages énergivores.
Aider votre entreprise à réduire son empreinte
Nos ingénieurs aux premières lignes
Chez Dyson, nous sommes animés par une équipe d’ingénieurs avant-gardistes, issue de James Dyson, notre fondateur. Dès le premier jour, nous avons misé sur la science, l’ingénierie et le changement de comportement pour réduire l’empreinte de nos activités et technologies.
L’Institut d’ingénierie et de technologie de Dyson
L’Institut d’ingénierie et de technologie de Dyson offre une éducation par l’ingénierie, les étudiants de premier cycle travaillent sur des projets allant des sacs à dos pour la détection de la pollution à la mise au point de nouvelles technologies.
Le prix James Dyson
Le prix James Dyson met au défi les jeunes ingénieurs et scientifiques de résoudre certains des plus grands problèmes auxquels le monde fait face aujourd’hui. Des technologies qui améliorent l’accessibilité à celles s’attaquant aux problèmes de l’environnement. Compte tenu du nombre croissant de projets axés sur l’environnement soumis chaque année dans le monde, le concours dispose désormais d’un prix dédié à la durabilité.
La fondation James Dyson
La Fondation James Dyson est l’organisme de bienfaisance de Dyson pour l’enseignement de l’ingénierie. L’organisme promeut le changement auprès des jeunes inventeurs en leur faisant découvrir le monde passionnant de la résolution de problèmes.

Les gagnants canadiens 2022
L’objectif au cœur du prix James Dyson est simple : concevoir quelque chose qui résout un problème. En 2022, Swaleh Owais, de l’Université McMaster, au Canada, et Reiten Cheng, du ArtCenter College of Design, aux États-Unis, ont répondu de manière experte grâce à Polyformer, une machine à source ouverte qui recycle les déchets de plastique en filament pour imprimante 3D.
Nos espaces
Grâce à nos efforts soutenus, 82 % des espaces Dyson utilisent désormais des énergies renouvelables. Et 100 % des procédés de fabrication directe de Dyson fonctionnent désormais à l’énergie verte³.
Énergie renouvelable sur le campus
Notre tout nouveau centre de recherche, de conception et de développement au Royaume-Uni est équipé de panneaux solaires, produisant suffisamment d’énergie pour alimenter l’ensemble du bâtiment. Une pompe à chaleur géothermique installée sous l’aire de stationnement permet d’économiser de l’énergie en régulant la température à l’intérieur du bâtiment et en maintenant notre centre de serveurs informatiques au frais.
Nous installons de nouveaux appareils de contrôle de l’énergie dans l’ensemble de nos bâtiments pour réaliser des économies supplémentaires, notamment un système d’imagerie thermique par drone pour déceler les fuites et nous assurer que dans l’ensemble de nos nos bâtiments sont aussi écoénergétiques que possible.
Rénover l’ancien pour en faire du neuf
Les lieux dans lesquels nous travaillons ont toujours été importants pour Dyson. Tout comme nos appareils sont construits dans une vue de durabilité, nous adoptons la même méthodologie pour nos édifices, restaurant les bâtiments emblématiques pour leur redonner leur gloire d’antan.
