Natural Steps

For over a decade, Puustelli has been taking actions for the benefit of the environment. The work continues. The environmental criteria of the Natural Steps program are taken into account in all of Puustelli's own and suppliers / partners' activities. In 2020, Natural Steps cooperation was started with the John Nurminen Foundation and Puuni Oy. The companies do important environmental work that is also in line with Puustelli's values.

Energy and electricity

Puustelli is firmly committed to reducing emissions arising in conjunction with furniture production and we are closely monitoring development. Systematic reduction electricity consumption and measures to produce greener electricity have been one of the key areas. Some of our electricity is generated by our own solar power plant. The extra electricity needed has been produced entirely through hydropower. The wood waste originating in production is burnt, utilizing it to heat the entire production facilities. We are committed to our production facilities being carbon neutral by 2035.

Clean and non-toxic

The most ecological Puustelli Miinus kitchen, based on carbon footprint calculations, has been in our production since back in 2013. Our production is toxic free. No substances containing heavy metals are used in production and nor do they originate in the production process either. Stains and paints are water-based and nor are glues that contain added formaldehyde in assembly.

Depending on choices, the carbon dioxide emissions are up to half lower than those compared to a traditionally made kitchen. Also the limits specified in the best M1 indoor air quality class are undercut by as much as half. We make maximum use of research findings of Miinus kitchens in Puustelli production.

Miinus story

There is one and only one kitchen brand that, based on thorough research and carbon footprint calculations, can be called an ecological kitchen. This kitchen has been developed in Finland and is the Puustelli Miinus kitchen. For ecological reasons, widely-used furniture materials have been removed or minused.

Kitchen of principle

The Miinus is a kitchen of ecological principle that remains at the heart of its values: durability, modifiability, non-toxicity, easy-care, re-use and recyclability of materials. Traditionally used furniture boards have been completely eliminated from a Miinus kitchen and replaced by more ecological alternatives.

Less is more

Puustelli spent no less than four years on development work to create an ecological kitchen. The key ambition was to reduce the carbon footprint in furniture manufacture, taking into account the entire lifecycle of the furniture.

Made in Harjavalta

Puustelli has been Finland’s largest kitchen manufacturer and best-selling kitchen brand since back in 1983. This is probably no coincidence. Miinus kitchens are made at the same Puustelli production facilities in Harjavalta as all other Puustelli furniture. We make the most ecological material alternatives available to everyone thinking about buying a kitchen as well as the latest innovations to make household chores easier.
