The idea behind it ? Simply to produce less waste. The objects in our day-to-day lives are made from natural resources. Sometimes, they are manufactured, transported and distributed to the four corners of the world. You will no doubt be aware that <strong>every stage in the life cycle of an object, from production to elimination, has a significant environmental impact<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/site-lu.eggotest.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/visu_1.jpg\" alt=\"\u00e8ggo Life pour l'environement\" class=\"wp-image-5597\" srcset=\"https:\/\/site-lu.eggotest.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/visu_1.jpg 960w, https:\/\/site-lu.eggotest.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/visu_1-300x125.jpg 300w, https:\/\/site-lu.eggotest.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/visu_1-768x320.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Just like you,&nbsp;<strong>\u00e8ggo wants <a href=\"\/en\/kitchens\/contemporary-collection\/\">to&nbsp;reverse that trend<\/a>.<\/strong>&nbsp;This starts with the process of assembling your kitchen.&nbsp;We collect and recycle packaging, cardboard and polystyrene. Our kitchens are also fitted with containers, measuring from 8 to 40 litres, that can be assembled as you wish, for the ergonomic sorting of your household waste, such as plastics, metals and cardboard.
