ZEVENHUIZEN, 12 January 2021 - DSM-Niaga takes the first circular kitchen from cellulose waste into use. This NeverEnding Kitchen, the kitchen concept of TRIBOO, is the first kitchen in the world made of completely circular Niaga® panels. TRIBOO is thus coming closer to its mission: saving 1.5 million kitchen cabinets from the waste mountain every year.
A new commercial kitchen, the so-called NeverEnding Kitchen by TRIBOO, was inaugurated today in the panel factory of DSM-Niaga. The kitchen is made of the first circular panels in the world, produced from cellulose waste by DSM-Niaga. The panels are free of toxic substances and completely reusable. The NeverEnding Kitchen was officially handed over today by Marc van der Heijden, director of TRIBOO, to Sascha Bloemhoff, marketing director at DSM-Niaga.
The kitchen was symbolically put into use by placing a Niaga® tag with QR code on the applied panels. The scannable QR code gives access to the materials passport with background information on the materials used. In addition, it informs on how the panels can be returned to the producer who will make new circular kitchens out of them. In this way, waste becomes a thing of the past and valuable materials are preserved for future generations.
Radical innovator and circular office furnisher TRIBOO and (re)designer and manufacturer of circular products DSM-Niaga joined forces to realise products for office environments that never have to become waste again. "Our mission is 'to design out waste and to design to use again'," says Sascha Bloemhoff, marketing director at DSM-Niaga. "What could be nicer than to be the launching customer for this innovative kitchen concept of TRIBOO, which actively contributes to the transition from waste streams to material streams. In this way, we can learn together, improve and thus contribute to the creation of a circular economy and related infrastructure in the Netherlands."
Marc van der Heijden says: "Together, we are challenging the status quo to save 1.5 million kitchen cabinets from the rubbish heap in the Netherlands every year. Thanks to the kitchen's modular structure, its layout and appearance can be changed at any time. This means the kitchen lasts longer and can change with the times. When the kitchen needs to be replaced, we take it back and use the raw materials from the old kitchen to create a new circular kitchen. That way, the kitchen never becomes waste again and we guarantee a lifetime of cooking pleasure."
