In the Netherlands, 300,000 kitchens are sold and discarded every year. As a result, around 1.5 million kitchen cabinets end up on our rubbish heap every year.
In 2018, TRIBOO launched the first prototype of the NeverEnding Kitchen at Dutch Design Week. The kitchen was made from the cardboard packaging of new kitchens. In 2019, the production model will be ready and TRIBOO will guarantee a lifetime of cooking pleasure with the world's first circular kitchen!
This facilitates a lifetime of cooking pleasure, taking care of our raw materials together with customers. The healthy kitchen is made of waste from natural cellulose fibres.
In recent decades, practically all our kitchens have been made of MDF and chipboard. Because these products are not designed to be reused, they are a major stream on the waste mountain. Worldwide, this amounts to no less than fifty million tonnes per year. This is due to the simple reason that the materials and panels are glued together. As a result, the materials can hardly be separated into pure residual streams, which is a prerequisite for high-quality reuse. In addition, these processed materials also contain unhealthy and toxic substances (such as the binder: formaldehyde) that damage our environment and health. In the Netherlands, approximately 300,000 kitchens are sold annually and about the same number are discarded. As a result, around 1.5 million kitchen cabinets end up in our landfill each year.
This disposable society is unsustainable. At a time when we are thinking more about raw materials, health and the environment, we are looking for solutions. TRIBOO has therefore come up with a sustainable alternative for the kitchen: the NeverEnding Kitchen. The NeverEnding Kitchen guarantees a kitchen for life. The company offers a kitchen that changes with the customer's wishes. Thanks to its modular structure, every component can be easily disconnected and replaced. The arrangement and appearance can be changed at any time.
When the kitchen needs to be replaced, it will be taken back and the raw materials from the old kitchen will be used to make a new circular kitchen. In this way, the kitchen never becomes waste again. With the purchase of a NeverEnding Kitchen, the waste of raw materials stops and the owner starts investing in healthy and reusable materials. The kitchen is a valuable storehouse, and when the value of raw materials rises, the buyer benefits too. So kitchens and the joy of cooking are NeverEnding.
NeverEnding Kitchen is made in the Netherlands and we are proud of that. Not only does it reduce the CO2 footprint because less transport is needed. NeverEnding Kitchen also sees local production as an essential part of the circular economy. The company wants to make the Netherlands stronger and more innovative, precisely by keeping the manufacturing industry here. By creating innovative solutions, the company can compete with other countries.
