Kaldewei becomes first to manufacture with CO2-reduced steel
Premium bathroom manufacturer Kaldewei heralds a new era in sustainable bathroom design by manufacturing with Bluemint Steel, the world’s first steel-enamel products made from CO2-reduced steel from thyssenkrupp Steel.
CO2-reduced steel is of particular importance in order to achieve the Kaldewei climate targets, laid down in the Science Based Targets and aligned with the Paris Climate Protection Agreement.
Franz Kaldewei underlines the importance of this groundbreaking order: “Bluemint Steel gives us and our partners the certainty that today we are already able to use the highest quality steel with a low CO2 intensity.”
“With bathroom solutions made of steel enamel, Kaldewei has always been a pioneer in the industry when it comes to sustainability. And now we are the first manufacturer in the world to process the certified Bluemint Steel from thyssenkrupp.”
Steel with a low CO2 intensity is the third important building block on the way to the sustainable, climate-neutral orientation of Kaldewei. The long service life of 30 or more years and the complete recyclability of the steel-enamel material are strong arguments in favour of Kaldewei bathroom solutions.
“With the reduction of CO2 in the steel production, we overcome another hurdle in order to be able to offer our customers a premium product that combines modern luxury in the form of exquisite materials and sensual design along with sustainable thinking and action. We call this ‘Luxstainability’,” explains Franz Kaldewei.
