Today I’m sharing a most interesting approach that combines kitchen, ecology and effective recycling. I must admit that quite a lot of time has been spent from me diving deeper and deeper into its details in order to come up with a few basics to share with you. At the beginning it seemed to me that I was learning about a NASA program!
Completely astonished, line by line read, I was being informed about how in fact the vision of some people can have a great impact on our everyday living and our lives on this planet.
I suppose we are all aware that humans are in fact the greatest enemies of their own home, planet earth. It is quite comforting to see that there are designers, scientists and people of all kind who care enough to find solutions which will have a long term positive effect on our world.
The Fantazi lab made it happen by designing and delivering Ekokook, an alternative way to life in the kitchen, which is undoubtedly the heart of the home, there where most action happens. Action involving creative preparation of delicious food, at the same time are actions that lead in massive production of waste and energy consumption. Just think about it for a minute: ovens, dish washers, fridges and freezers…. peeling of vegetables and fruit, throwing packages, using water.
Ekokook is based on four essentials: waste management, kitchen health, reduction of energy consumption and intelligent storage.
It has built-in fittings – I know how impressive and ingenious! – for selecting, processing and storing all kinds of wastes: organic, solid and liquid. In fact, just think of every “o” present in the word Ekokook, standing for a recycling circle, each representing the kind of wastes just mentioned.
This futuristic kitchen design includes electrical appliances that consume less energy, such as a twin-tier dishwasher, steam oven and refrigerator with compartments. The materials used and the fabrication process are such so as to have the least possible negative impact on the environment. All in all, Ekokook is the future of home living only that it has already happened. So, what are your thoughts on that? Do you also care about the effect the way we live has on the environment? Would you consider incorporating such a kitchen system in your home?
