Did you know that one hundred billion PET bottles are used each year around the world? One third of them are recycled, but the rest become waste, or are discarded directly into the sea or in landfills.

This is not sustainable for the world. Plastic is made from oil, a natural resource which will run out one day, and it takes up to incredible one thousand years for a PET bottle to break down.

Together with one of our suppliers, our team came up with the idea to convert PET bottles into a plastic film. This film could then be made from recycled wood.

The innovative production of the KUNGSBACKA kitchen fronts let us recycle PET bottles in large quantities. But the plan for these plastic bottles doesn’t end here – the sustainable KUNGSBACKA kitchen fronts can be recycled again when the kitchen has served its purpose, and become something new.
