This disposable society is unsustainable. Resources are being depleted. At a time when we are thinking more about health and the environment, we are looking for solutions. TRIBOO therefore devised a sustainable alternative for the kitchen; the NeverEnding Kitchen. Greentogether now offers this kitchen for the ecological housing corporation.
'With the NeverEnding Kitchen, we facilitate a lifetime of cooking. Together with customers, we take good care of our raw materials. In fact, the kitchen is made entirely from waste from residual streams of natural cellulose fibers," says Martijn Vinke, Director TRIBOO. 'The kitchen is constructed in such a way that we can completely disassemble it and rearrange it to suit the needs of the moment.'
'This of course fits perfectly with our ecological corporation housing. These are maximally circularly built and offer a healthy living environment to grow old in,' said Wim-Heerke Spronk, general manager of Greentogether. 'We have the ecological corporation home in many variants: starter homes, remountable and lifelong homes, family homes and apartments.' A NeverEnding Kitchen offers residents a kitchen that changes with their needs. Thanks to its modular design, each component can be easily disconnected and interchanged. The arrangement and appearance are customizable at any time.
We make a lot of products from MDF and particle board. These products are not reusable and therefore over the years form a considerable waste mountain. Worldwide, it is as much as fifty million tons per year. This is because the materials and panels are glued together. As a result, the materials can hardly be separated into pure residual streams, a prerequisite for high-quality reuse. In addition, the processed materials contain unhealthy and toxic substances (such as formaldehyde) that harm our environment and health. In the Netherlands, some 1.5 million kitchen cabinets end up in landfills every year. Time for a trendy circular solution: meet the NeverEnding Kitchen!
