Get to Know Eco-friendly Kitchen Materials
Do you think that you can’t do anything to make our planet healthier?
We don’t agree with you, because there are so many options that you can do in your daily routine and trust us: everything counts.
You don’t have to think about huge things: for example, it is a really good option if you choose eco-friendly materials in your household.
Nowadays choosing sustainability is more important than ever.
In our article we show you some options for your kitchen cabinet to see the possibilities in environmentally friendly materials.
What makes a material eco-friendly?
Eco-friendly, environmentally friendly or green: you can use all these phrases for every material which is not harmful for our planet.
These materials don’t contribute water, land or air pollution, and some of them can help to conserve resources (for example water or energy) during the fabrication process or in other ways.
Green materials degrade in a natural way or can be recycled.
Environmentally friendly kitchen cabinet materials
Now you know what makes a material eco-friendly, so let’s see some exact examples!
Cabinets made from natural wood are great possibilities, because they are created by using sustainable sourcing and these are naturally degradable.
Maple, oak or walnut could be a great choice, but bamboo – despite it is not a hard wood but a special type of grass - is a good option too.
If you want to choose a totally eco-friendly possibility, you should pay attention for transporting too: try to find these green products in your local area to avoid the transportation caused pollution.
Painting and staining are also matter
For finishing cabinets: water-based stains and paints are the best option.
Water-based paints and finishes are very low in harmful chemicals which contain formaldehyde and the risk of toxic off-gassing is also really low.
Don’t worry, water-based finishes could be as beautiful as the oil-based products.
