Environmentally friendly kitchens

As a country, Germany is very conscious of its environment and has many environmentally friendly policies, ranging from its hugely influential Renewable Energy Act (EEG) a law that gives renewables priority to The Energy Conservation Ordinance implemented to ensure buildings of all ages will eventually meet modern energy efficiency standards. Our kitchen manufacturer, Schuller kitchens, demonstrate a clear sense of responsibility for our environment. Below we have detailed what that entails.

Schuller Kitchens

Generating heat for the entire company

A significant amount of waste wood is created in the production of Schuller Kitchens – Schuller has utilised this to turn it into energy rather than leave it as waste. This way, by burning their waste wood in a thermally cleaned manner, they are able to generate the heating energy for the entire company.

PEFC

Schuller will only use wood from sustainable sources, this is their statement on being PEFC certified: “Reconciling an entire company with the demands of nature, design, production and logistics – that is how we understand responsibility. Our company‘s certification and award of the PEFC logo is symbolic of our commitment to the environment and the economic use of wood as an indispensable raw material. The integrative concept of the PEFC initiative not only strives to preserve the natural forests and their ecological balance but also guarantees a controlled working chain that is monitored independently, totally reproducible and guaranteed to be sustainable.”

Environmentally friendly transportation

Schuller trucks cover thousands upon thousands of miles across Europe every year. With this in mind, Schüller has for years been investing in an increasingly eco-friendly and fuel-saving fleet of trucks. This has enabled them to reach the Euro 6 standard and highlight their contribution to cleaner air.
