Sustainable materials: PET in the Formalia model
How to furnish an eco-sustainable kitchen
Choosing a kitchen is not easy: it needs to last over time, have style, and, now more than ever, respect the environment. That's why focusing on sustainable materials in design constitutes an act of responsibility; it is a concrete way to reduce your impact on the planet without sacrificing comfort and functionality. In this article, we introduce you to the PET available for Scavolini’s Formalia collection, and more.
PET: what it is and why it is truly impressive
PET (polyethylene terephthalate) is a thermoplastic material that is revolutionising the furniture world. Its strengths? It is hard-wearing, hygienic, and most importantly, 100% recyclable: once produced, PET can be regenerated infinitely without losing its qualities. But there's more: when produced, PET consumes up to 50% less energy than virgin plastic and reduces the toxic emissions released during disposal, making it one of the most recommended materials for an eco-friendly kitchen.
And what about its practicality? It is not afraid of water, is easy to clean, maintains its shape over time, and is resistant to scratches and heat. In short, it is designed for everyday life, filled with hot pans and (sometimes) spilled water glasses.
PET for the Formalia kitchen
This is where Formalia comes in. Designed by Vittore Niolu, the collection uses PET as the main material for the shaped doors of its kitchen, living room, and bathroom furniture. This model doesn't just furnish the living area; it ensures a leitmotiv across different rooms, which speak the same language of sustainable design.
The result is a furniture project with a strong, contemporary character, perfect for those who want a home that is not only welcoming and beautiful but also responsible toward the future. Are you one of them? Explore the Formalia collection on the website.
Bonus tip: PET is also available for the Moda, Regola, and Poetica models (both kitchen and living room) and the Sideboard collection of dressers. Discover them at a Scavolini dealer.
