A more sustainable future.

Our circular approach through design innovation.

Crafting kitchens that last a lifetime — that’s our commitment at TERMINO. Our kitchen systems are designed not just for today's trends but for longevity, with high-quality materials and precise engineering to ensure a long, functional lifespan.

Shockingly, according to the European Federation of Furniture Manufacturers, 80-90% of EU furniture waste is sent to landfill sites, with only about 10% being recycled. We are dedicated to changing this narrative through a four-pronged strategy aimed at promoting a circular economy:

1.
Using Long-lasting Materials: We select materials that are not only durable but also sustainable, reducing the need for frequent replacements.

2.
Incentivizing Upgrades: Rather than discarding old models, we encourage customers to upgrade to newer versions, thus extending the lifecycle of our products.

3.
Providing Repair Services: By offering repair options, we extend the life of our kitchens and reduce waste.

4.
Reselling Parts: We facilitate the resale of parts, allowing for our products to be reused and repurposed instead of discarded.
