BLACK+DECKER® has launched the reviva™ range of power tools designed for a new generation of eco-conscious homeowners, and we have the whole set up for grabs!

The new sustainable power tools range includes a Drill Driver, Detail Sander, Jigsaw and Screwdriver.

The reviva™ power tools deliver all the reliability, ease of use, and safety that users expect from the BLACK+DECKER brand, with the added benefit of eco-friendly construction and a fully sustainable lifecycle. Manufactured from 50% recycled material that has been formulated for optimum durability, these tools provide exceptional power, runtime and cordless convenience, with no compromise on power or performance.

Each reviva™ tool is constructed with a durable housing made from Tritan™ Renew – a 50% certified recycled material created from repurposed single-use plastic bottles. Within the first three years, more than 10 million¹ plastic bottles are forecast to be removed from oceans and landfills to manufacture the BLACK+DECKER reviva™ range. In addition to its eco friendly composition, every tool in the reviva™ family is delivered in 100% recycled packaging, which doubles as a storage box and is fully recyclable. No plastic is used in the production of the sleeve or internal carton.

Phillippa Harding, ANZ Group Marketing Manager for Consumer Products at Stanley Black & Decker says, “With the launch of the reviva™ series, BLACK+DECKER has taken the next major step in its journey to sustainability. Made from environmentally-friendly, recycled materials, these revolutionary products are designed to meet the needs of a new generation of eco-conscious homeowners, who actively seek products that make less impact on the planet. Our research has shown that many would purposefully switch to a more sustainable brand when choosing household goods.”

Developed to have minimum impact on the environment throughout their entire lifecycle, reviva™ tools are built without common components such as rubber over moulds or coatings, to facilitate more efficient ‘end of life’ disposal. Once the tool is no longer fit for purpose, it can be sent back to BLACK+DECKER for recycling into future products: the owner simply scans the QR code on the tool for instructions on how to return the equipment.
