KITCHENS WITH A CONSCIENCE

CARBON NEUTRAL

As part of Silestone’s commitment to make quartz and engineered stone surfaces a more eco-friendly proposition, the brand has launched its first carbon-neutral collection. The CO2 emissions of the Sunlit Days range have been offset for the entire life cycle of the surface, gaining the attention of carbon zero developers. Produced using 100% renewable electricity, 99% reused water, and 20% recycled glass, Sunlit Days heralds a new breed of hybrid composite in five enticing colours, including this delightfully earthy Arcilla Red.

SECOND CHANCE

Just as pre-loved clothing is trending in fashion, second-hand kitchens are enjoying high kudos among eco-conscious shoppers. If you absolutely need a new kitchen, buying secondhand is universally acknowledged as a smart way to swerve the environmental impact of manufacturing, with the added bonus of diverting cabinetry headed to a landfill. This excellent example from the Used Kitchen Exchange, shown in its new home, has been given a new lease of life with a fresh coat of paint and beech worktops. Also try The Used Kitchen Company and the Used Kitchen Hub, as well as selling sites like Gumtree.
