We have done this to promise ourselves and each other that there must be action behind the words.
At &SHUFL, we’re making a difference with our green agenda.
We’ve chosen three action areas in which we can help each other contribute to a better climate.
Where sustainability is as important as design and price when choosing a new kitchen.
This requires: Transparency, Product development, and Recycling.
We were the first to hack IKEA kitchens now we want to hack for a better future
1. Transparency
We will be open and honest about what our products cost in climate impact. It gives you the opportunity to choose not just based on design and economy, but also the environment in terms of CO2.
For most people, CO2 consumption is a somewhat abstract quantity. We have set out to make this new coin base easier to understand. We do this by comparing our own products’ climate footprint with meat consumption, flights and streaming – we believe this is one of the keys to conscious consumption and more informed choices.
2. Product development
We will improve our existing products and develop new, greener collections.
Based on thorough analyzes of the structure of our products, we have initiated various initiatives to reduce our products’ climate footprint. Our mission is that these analyzes equip us to not only develop products based on aesthetic choices, but also based on the lowest possible consumption of CO2.
Oct. 2022: Farewell to MDF
As an important part of making our products more environmentally friendly, we have decided to phase out MDF, which is normally used in the core of kitchen doors. We have already removed MDF from several of our collections. Feel free to ask about it when you shop with us, and we can guide you in choosing products without MDF. Read more here about why we say “Farewell to MDF”.
Nov. 2022: New collection made from recycled wood
The Core collection was designed by &SHUFL in collaboration with award-winning Johansen Skovsted Architects, with the starting point of reducing the CO2 footprint both now and in the future, and at the same time creating a unique expression. The collection of fronts, sides and table tops is therefore made from sheets of recycled wood instead of MDF. Read more about the new collection here.
3. Recycling
Far too many well-functioning kitchens are thrown away because the worktop or kitchen doors have become ugly. With &SHUFL keep™️, we want to make it easier to make an environmentally friendly choice – to supplement existing kitchens, and reuse as much as possible of the old kitchen, instead of replacing it all. We can produce for most new kitchen systems.
We want to be frontrunners in the green transition in our industry.
We have kick-started the process by mapping &SHUFLS CO2 emissions and obtaining data from all our suppliers and manufacturers.
In collaboration with experienced environmental consultants, we have processed this data and based on this defined &SHUFLs sustainability strategy, based on the areas where we can make the biggest difference as quickly as possible.

How much
is a kitchen?
Often we talk about money, but what about CO2?
At &SHUFL, we want to make a difference – we believe that transparency is an important part of creating positive development. We want to be open and honest about what our products cost in climate impact. It allows you to choose not just based on style and economy, but also
environment.
