DESCRIPTION:

At BAZZEO, kitchen design is no longer just about form it has transformed into a process that integrates technology, function and the aesthetic into a single interpretation. We believe that this process has evolved further with the increased awareness of environmental concerns, as well as a new appreciation for our natural resources and the impact that manufacturing directly has on the world around us. BAZZEO kitchens are manufactured using non-toxic paints and lacquers, free from heavy metals and low in emissions. BAZZEO kitchens are produced using recycled and regenerated wood from certified resources as well as the use of non-toxic laminates, aluminum, glass and technical veneers. Kitchens by BAZZEO use only lumber, veneers and wood panels from fully managed and sustainable forests.

ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT:

The BAZZEO factory is a real-world example in sustainability with its “Zero Waste” resource management system, whereby all waste is reconstituted or recycled into new materials. At BAZZEO, the reduction and elimination of waste has always been a fundamental manufacturing element. With computerization of the manufacturing process and OTM (On Time Manufacturing) practices, The factory controls the environment used in production and has eliminated the need to stockpile and warehouse large quantities of raw materials. It is also a standard practice to recycle all wood cuttings and sawdust. In addition, BAZZEO partner’s use only controlled growth forests for its veneers and solid wood doors. By managing production and waste properly, we become more aware of the environment around us and our obligation to the world at large.
