Sustainability and the protection of our planet’s resources continue to grab headlines in all your favourite media. We have all grown increasingly aware of how to make changes on an individual basis through avoiding single-use plastic, using reusable coffee cups and bamboo toothbrushes; and the next step is to be able to confidently choose brands and businesses that incorporate environmentally-friendly solutions into their strategies too. 

Keller Kitchens, the high-quality Dutch manufacturer which has consistently designed and manufactured unique and luxurious kitchens, has also been at the forefront of environmentally-friendly developments.

2021 heralds Keller’s fifth year as a Carbon Neutral kitchen manufacturer.

As such, the progressive company has implemented a completely carbon neutral production process since early 2017, and 2021 is set to see further developments. One example of Keller’s sustainability policy is the generation of electricity with solar panels; recently, after installing new roofing and insulation, additional new solar panels were installed on the new factory roof taking the total to 8000. Others include converting waste into heat, biomass installation, “greening” the car fleet to all electric and environmentally-friendly packaging in terms of materials and processes.

Essentially, a new Keller kitchen won’t add any additional carbon dioxide into the atmosphere at all. This achievement is an impressive reflection of the eco-friendly ethos right at the heart of the Keller brand and demonstrates the ability to combine high quality, aesthetic kitchen design with care for the planet.

Keller believes in the “circular kitchen” and implements sustainability into every aspect of the kitchen lifecycle. This starts with using responsibly- sourced raw materials both from an environmental and ethical standpoint. The end stage of the circular approach has just as much eco-friendly foresight; Keller facilitates dismantling and recycling old kitchens at the end of their usage period so that materials don’t end up in landfill unnecessarily.

Keller compensates the emission that remains by having trees planted and contributing to wind energy projects. This all-encompassing achievement establishes Keller as a pioneering manufacturer in the move towards sustainability solutions.

This is why Keller prioritises both to create reliable, durable and beautiful kitchen schemes.
