Arredo3 products, all made in Italy, are a mix of design, technological innovation and sustainability. In fact, Arredo3 has been following a green path that led to greater use of eco-friendly materials, as well as the inclusion of kitchens made with recycled panels. Sustainable choices have become increasingly central for the final consumer, who is aware and attentive to these issues, such as those related to design and quality.

In recent years the company has been offering kitchens that maintain high design standards and are both elegant and eco-sustainable. The brand’s aim is to raise awareness of more and more people on the issues of safeguarding the planet, thus everyone's future.

For the composition that combines elements of the Glass 2.0 and Asia models, Arredo3 proposes bases and boiserie in black ribbed-finish glass on black aluminum frame, top and drawers in Laminam pietra grey. Lateral tall units, Arco top and snack counter in impiallacciato lava Asia. Tuttotondo electrified bridge, grooves and plinths in black aluminium.

Eco-sustainable materials in Arredo3 kitchens: Gaia Range

The eco-sustainable Gaia setup features doors, tops, handles, open compartments, equipped back panels, bookcases and tables made exclusively with eco-compatible, sustainable, recyclable materials: recycled PET, reclaimed wood, glass, steel, aluminium, Quarzo cava, Cosmolite and ceramic slabs, such as  Abitum, Laminam®, Infinity, Iris®, Dekton®. These elements and materials can be inserted transversally into many Arredo3 models to obtain a kitchen with low environmental impact.

• Recycled PET: This is recycled plastic, cleaned and processed into a strong, long-lasting and practical material.
• Travi wood: the travi veneer is made up of 100% post-consumer recycled beams. Unique pieces are created with knots, cracks and changes in tone that represent intensely lived lives.
• Glass: it is a 100% recyclable material, obtained by fusing natural substances. It is ideal for creating airy, light spaces with a contemporary mood. It is possible to choose between glossy, matt or ribbed glass.
• Aluminium: it is 100% infinitely recyclable and without losing quality. Particularly loved for its 
  lightness, malleability and ductility.
• Ceramic: this category includes various materials such as Abitum, Laminam®, Infinity, Iris® and Dekton®. They appear as large ceramic slabs, worked with technological and sustainable processes starting from mostly natural raw materials.
• Cosmolite: mixture of minerals deriving from waste from industrial production in the stone and aggregate sector. This is where the ecological Cosmolite tops by Arredo3 are born, robust, safe, resistant to thermal shock, abrasion and acids.
• Quarzo cava: it is a quartz composed of recycled ceramic grit and quartz. The slabs obtained maintain their characteristics of resistance and practicality and have a clearly visible and continuous grit effect, even across the thickness.
  
  

PET: use and applications

Arredo3 purchases semi-finished products in recycled PET, with related documentation, used for the production of doors. This is recovered plastic, cleaned and processed into a resistant, long-lasting and practical material. Beautiful to see and to touch, it is available in many eco-sustainable finishes proposed for the Kalì, Tekna and Tratto_10 models but also for other collections if selected as material of the ecosustainable Gaia range. 

Kalì has a squared and edged door, made up of a recycled chipboard panel, covered with a recycled PET sheet, to which the recycled ABS edge is then applied. Tratto_10 and Tekna are both post-formed (i.e. shaped) doors, composed of a recycled MDF panel (as documented by the manufacturer) covered with 
PET film that is heated and stretched so that it adapts perfectly to the shape of the panel.

The doors are therefore entirely eco-sustainable: both the external surface in PET and the panel on which the PET film is placed

Arredo3 eco-sustainable accessories

Eco-friendly choices also for some of the accessory collections created exclusively for Arredo3. As the Brera integrated handle in aluminium, with rounded edges, from the Tuttotondo collection with the snack counter in Laminam® slabs and the elements made with round section aluminum profiles, as support for the snack top, electrified bridge, base for sideboards or islands and bookcases with shelves in glass, recycled PET or travi veneered.

Also the Sintesi equipped back panels are made with sustainable materials: thin aluminum structure and recycled PET shelves.

Sustainable production and cutting-edge technology

Arredo3 operates according to precise internal processes aimed at protecting the environment, preventing pollution and reducing the consumption of energy and resources, also guided by the management system pursuant to the Certificazione Ambientale ISO 14001:2015 (ISO 14001:2015 Environmental Certification) achieved, the international reference standard for environmental management systems. The production lines are powered by renewable energy sources, more precisely through a large photovoltaic system installed on the roof of the company structure.

In production, the systems automatically manage the process, from the collection of the starting material to be sectioned, up to the unloading of the processed and semi-finished product, with the composition of stacks in sequence, ready for use in the next work centre. The production lines are activated by individual orders which, once entered into the company management system, automatically generate the start of the order, monitored throughout its entire process via visual systems that highlight - live and to everyone - the state of progress, in order not to miss the shipment within the established times.

The production lines automatically flow into those dedicated to packaging, where the packages are adequately protected to be shipped and then stored in an automated warehouse. The packaging of the kitchens’ tops and panels is made of cardboard, an eco-sustainable material, designed to occupy the least possible volume with equal protection so as to reduce the space occupied and optimize the space needed for transport for a further limited impact on the environment.
