Preserve® Kitchen By Recycline, Designed For You - And The Planet
Waltham, MA, October 3, 2007 - Just as purchasing organic foods and supporting local growers help sustain the planet, now everyday cooks can do their part by using kitchenware made from recycled plastics and paper.
Recycline, one of America's premier brands for design-oriented, environment-friendly products for the home since 1996, will debut its durable, stylish, dishwasher-safe Preserve® Kitchen line consisting of colanders, cutting boards and food storage containers at Whole Foods Market November 12, 2007. The line will expand further in 2008.
The Preserve Kitchen line is driven by thoughtful, sophisticated product design-a result of an unconventional business partnership with Evo Design, a leading product design firm. "Green products aren't traditionally known for high design. Preserve products deliver high performance at a competitive price and look great in every kitchen," says Eric Hudson, founder and President of Recycline.
Initially the line will be sold exclusively at Whole Foods Market - a retailer widely known as a leader in the organic and natural food marketplace. According to Bruce Silverman, Global Vice President of Private Label at Whole Foods Market, "Our customers look to us as a destination for 'greener' offerings and the environmentally-friendly Preserve Kitchen line by Recycline is a wonderful alternative."
Known for its revolutionary toothbrushes, razors and tableware made from recycled plastics, Preserve by Recycline has proven that products we use daily can be designed to perform flawlessly while also respecting the planet. Eric Hudson, the founder and President of Recycline imagined the Preserve Kitchen line as going hand-in-hand with consumers' commitment to organic foods. Just as organic food production is gentler on the environment, reusing and recycling materials uses less energy and leaves a smaller environmental footprint than manufacturing products by conventional means.
Additionally, Recycline's Preserve products are made in the USA so that they can be shipped shorter distances, using less fuel and limiting their carbon footprint. Preserve products offer consumers environmentally friendly choices so that today's kitchen can be greener than ever-and look great, too.
Evo Design took their design cues from nature. For instance, the food storage container gets its inspiration from an apple, the colander resembles a strawberry.
But beyond the simple organic designs, making sure that the design and the design process met environmental standards every step of the way was challenging. "We are working hard to ensure that the design supports sustainability," says Aaron Szymanski, President of Evo Design.
