Car recycled into vacuum cleaners for the first time

Electrolux's Ultrasilencer Green vacuum cleaner is made from fifty percent recycled materials including plastic from cars. According to the Reuters video below the fold, this is the first vacuum to include recycled parts. Recycling cars to make vacuums will save two liters of oil and eighty liters of water for every vacuum made. Electrolux has a dedication to sustainable design which you can see in the second video below the fold.
