June xx – EZVIZ received its first European Green Award nomination for its RE4 Plus Robot Vacuum and Mop Combo, an exemplary product that reflects the smart home tech company’s commitment to developing responsible products for a greener lifestyle. As a multi-purpose robot that thoroughly cleans both carpets and hard floors, the RE4 Plus is designed for sustainability on multiple levels. Each robot reuses recycled materials equivalent to 16 plastic bottles in the back plate and adopts a large dust bag made of non-plastic fabrics that can hold up to 90 days of dust to reduce single-use plastics.

“We learned that about 91 percent of all plastic waste ends up in landfills, incinerators, or as trash in the environment. Unrecycled waste can pose a major threat to the oceans, land, wildlife and therefore to us humans,” said Kimi Zhou, product manager for smart cleaning at EZVIZ. “From the robot itself to its daily use, the RE4 Plus promotes environmentally conscious practices. We hope it can help clean not only people’s homes, but also the planet.”

The European Green Award is a non-profit award that recognizes companies and individuals that have made special achievements during the work for sustainable development in Europe. This year, only 15 outstanding products, projects and people that have made a significant contribution to a sustainable future were given the honor of being nominated for the 2024 award, with 5 of them receiving the final winner prize.

EZVIZ, known for its industry-leading range of smart security cameras, ventured into cleaning robots with great momentum in 2022, and has been applying recycled plastics in its smart cleaning robot family ever since. The robot series also plays an important role in EZVIZ Green, a company-wide initiative through which EZVIZ promotes green technology and raises awareness of environmental protection. Proceeds from the RE4 Plus will be used in part to fund the EZVIZ Global Forest Plan, as the company continues to help plant trees in countries around the world to combat land degradation and climate change.

Automatic cleaning performance designed with sustainability in mind

A one-stop solution for homeowners who want full functionality with one cost-effective purchase, the RE4 Plus knows how to handle multiple cleaning jobs at once. With a great suction power of up to 4000 Pa, it takes in dust, pet dander, and even stubborn dirt at ease. It goes the extra mile by automatically boosting suction power for a deep clean when transitioning to carpets. To make the hard floor spotless, users can choose to install the mop cloth to help remove stubborn stains and sticky messes with consistent pressure, and rely on its 300 ML clean water tank for a whole-room wipe.

The useful auto-emptying function makes the RE4 Plus stand out from its market competitors. Whenever the robot returns to the charging dock, it will send all collected dust to the central dust bag on the dock, which is 4-liter large and fills up every 90 days. This means that users rarely have to take out the filthy waste after a cleaning task. Moreover, the RE4 Plus' dust bag uses more environmentally friendly materials to help users reduce their reliance on single-purpose plastic.

Equipped with advanced LDS LiDAR and infrared detectors, this smart cleaning gizmo maps your home with precision, avoids obstacles with less bumping effectively, and plans cleaning routes efficiently. What sets the RE4 Plus apart is its adaptability: it responds intuitively to users’ demand and provides a tailored cleaning experience. With few taps on the EZVIZ App, users can create high-precision area maps, set up area-specific cleaning preferences, and customize cleaning schedules.

“The RE4 Plus is a sincere step towards delightful cleaning experience and a future-oriented lifestyle,” said Zhou. “With the RE4 Plus, we have not only focused on advanced features and affordable convenience, but also stayed aware of the environmental impact we could reduce throughout its design process. While the RE4 Plus sweeps, vacuums, mops, and auto-empties itself, people can enjoy more quality time with their loved ones and contribute to a better future.”
