KUNGSBACKA kitchen.
This Kitchen is 99.9 percent recycled
It can be hard to find affordable, sustainable supplies that look stylish when constructing a kitchen. IKEA is changing that with their new KUNGSBACKA kitchen. The cabinet doors are made using recycled plastic bottles and recycled wood, and the entire thing is “99.9 percent recycled,” according to the designer. IKEA hopes that the design will help people see waste not as garbage, but as just another material that can be used in creating new and beautiful things. The KUNGSBACKA kitchen door launches February, 2017.
