SUSTAINABLE KITCHENS FOR THE FUTURE OF REFURBISHMENT

Professionals working in refurbishment and retrofit projects can now experience the Puustelli Miinus kitchen system first-hand at two key UK locations— the National Self Build & Renovation Centre in Swindon and The Building Centre in Central London
Designed and manufactured in Finland, Puustelli Miinus replaces traditional MDF and chipboard cabinetry with a low-VOC biocomposite frame and recyclable materials, achieving a 45 – 70 % lower embodied-carbon footprint. The result is a kitchen system that supports healthier interiors and measurable sustainability performance.
Beyond its environmental advantages, Puustelli Miinus also makes financial sense. Its modular bio-composite frame allows individual components to be refurbished, replaced, or reused, extending lifespan and reducing lifetime costs by up to 30 % compared with full replacements. For building owners, specifiers, and landlords, this circular design model helps protect capital investment while aligning with ESG and netzero goals.
