Sustainability
Sustainability is at the core of MAKUS. The brand was founded on the conviction that the switch to induction cooking should not only be necessary, but also appealing. Using design as a means to accelerate change. Today, the focus is on further improving the sustainability of the product itself. Step by step, with attention to materials, use, and lifespan.
In 2018, Merel Philippart recognized that the switch to induction cooking was necessary but not yet appealing enough. By adding design and color, that step became easier. For this vision, MAKUS was awarded the ASN World Prize.
Induction cooking has now become the new standard. The focus is now on further increasing the sustainability of the product, step by step.
Here's how MAKUS is working towards a more sustainable product:
Recycling ceramic glass
Ceramic glass is strong and heat-resistant, but difficult to recycle within the regular glass stream. MAKUS is collaborating with partners to process this glass separately and return it to the manufacturer. This way, the loop is gradually being closed.
Making packaging more sustainable
The packaging has been changed from styrofoam to all-cardboard. This simplifies transport and processing and reduces environmental impact.
Designed for repairMAKUS cooktops have a modular design. Components can be easily replaced, and repairs can be carried out on-site. This extends their lifespan and prevents unnecessary replacements. Use and MaintenanceA product that lasts longer is more sustainable. That's why MAKUS helps users properly maintain their cooktop, including providing tips, explanations, and instructions through the product environment.Continuous Improvement TogetherSustainability is not a destination. MAKUS continues to seek ways to further improve materials, production, and usage.
We recommend the MAKUS induction hob because it is both durable and stylish. It is also very practical to use.
When I saw the simply pink!, I immediately fell in love. I wanted it. In combination with a light kitchen, it brings so much peace, a pleasant atmosphere, and a very chic look. The size is also truly a delight! So much space and then the timer for each cooking zone. And with a wipe of a cloth, it's clean again. My life has become so much better. I recommend it to everyone.
