A circular kitchen made of natural cellulose fibers from waste residues. 100% healthy 100% circular
TRIBOO launches an innovative, circular kitchen during Dutch Design Week; NeverEnding 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 residual streams of natural cellulose fibers.
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.
The kitchen brand NeverEnding Kitchen will be launched at Dutch Design Week on Tuesday 23 October 2019. The first kitchen will also be on display at Strijp-T on the 5th-6th floor. The kitchen will be officially presented on Friday 25 October.
