Simple ways to make your kitchen more sustainable
Sustainability starts with the choices we make every day, and for most of us, that begins in the kitchen. It’s the busiest space in the home, where we cook, clean and connect, but it’s also where small changes can make a big difference. With a few thoughtful updates, you can create a kitchen that’s not only beautiful but better for the planet, too.
Choose materials that last
The most sustainable products are the ones that stand the test of time. At Franke, we build every sink and tap to deliver years of reliable use without compromising on design. Our stainless steel sinks, for example, are made from up to 70% recycled material and are fully recyclable at the end of their life.
In Australia, around 82% of steel products are recovered and recycled, making stainless steel one of the most environmentally responsible choices for your home. A Franke sink isn’t just built to look good; it’s built to last, helping reduce waste and the need for replacement over time.
Use water wisely
The average Australian home uses between 150,000 and 200,000 litres of water each year, with roughly 10% used in the kitchen. Simple choices, like upgrading to a water-efficient tap, can make a real difference without changing your daily routine.
Franke taps such as the Atlas Neo Pull-Out and Eos Neo are designed to deliver performance while helping to minimise water use. Paired with a deep and functional sink like the Maris Granite or Mythos Masterpiece, you can make washing and cleaning more efficient every day.
Choose quality over quantity
Sustainability isn’t just about saving energy and water; it’s about choosing products that will last for years to come. Franke products are made to be durable, easy to maintain and timeless in design, meaning fewer replacements and less waste in the long run.
Australia generates around 75 million tonnes of waste each year, so every lasting product helps. When you invest in quality, you’re choosing something that performs better and stays with you longer.
A more sustainable kitchen starts here
Sustainability doesn’t have to be complicated. It’s about making small, smart decisions that add up, from the materials you choose to the way you use them. At Franke, we’re proud to design sinks and taps that help Australians create kitchens that work beautifully, efficiently, and responsibly.
Because when your kitchen works smarter, so does your home.
To truly embrace sustainable kitchen design, invest in high-quality products that are built to last and made from easily recyclable materials, such as stainless steel and glass, as well as those with energy- and water-saving features. Stainless steel is not only 100% recyclable but also scratch and stain-resistant, ensuring durability and longevity.
At Franke, we aim to empower more sustainable living by offering products with timeless designs that won't go out of fashion and industry-leading guarantees. Our top-of-the-range Mythos Bowls are a perfect example, combining exceptional quality with recyclable materials. It’s easy to see how small changes can lead to big results. By making conscious choices and investing in sustainable products, you can create a more eco-friendly kitchen and contribute to a healthier planet.
