'Let's rewrite the script on sustainability'

Introducing latest innovation decors with high biobased content

In today's rapidly changing landscape, the question of sustainability is becoming increasingly urgent. As we witness the effects of climate change and natural resource depletion, it is clear that traditional building methods are no longer sustainable. ARPA recognizes the need for a fundamental shift in the way we approach (interior) building materials. Rutger de Jong, Country Manager at ARPA, says, "We are proud to introduce our latest innovation of all Fenix NTM decors: the transition to 0.7 mm thick FENIX® variants and also ARPA® HPL variants, all enhanced with our advanced BLOOM technology with high biobased content."

But what exactly distinguishes BLOOM technology? 

Says Rutger, "It's not just about redefining the thickness of our products; it's about reshaping the entire manufacturing process. By incorporating lignin technology, derived from one of the most abundant natural polymers on earth, we are able to drastically reduce the amount of phenol in our resin. This not only makes our products more environmentally friendly, but it also significantly reduces our carbon footprint." 

"It is a testament to our commitment to sustainability and our dedication to pushing the boundaries of what is possible in the interior design and therefore kitchen construction industry. Moreover, the introduction of the -gamechanger- BLOOM technology represents a new example in the way we think about design and functionality."

Sustainable benefits 

From now on, therefore, all 24 FENIX colors included in the standard collection, as well as, as a starting point, the 44 Arpa HPL uni colors in 3 surface textures KER, Lucida and Erre (1), are all infused with the sustainable benefits of BLOOM. As a result, kitchen designers and architects now have unprecedented freedom to express their creativity without compromising on their environmental principles. "Whether creating sleek, modern interiors or designing innovative kitchens that are increasingly an integral part of the home's meeting and chill space; FENIX and the Arpa HPL solid colors with BLOOM technology offer limitless possibilities for sustainable design," says Rutger.

But commitment to sustainability does not end with the products, he continued. "We are also committed to fostering a culture of environmental responsibility throughout our supply chain. From sourcing raw materials to manufacturing processes to end-of-life product disposal, we strive to minimize our impact on the planet at every step of the process. It's a holistic approach to sustainability that ensures our commitment to the environment extends far beyond the end product."

"So let's embrace this new era of sustainable construction together. Let's rewrite the script and usher in a future where sustainability is not just an afterthought, but a guiding principle in everything we do. With FENIX NTM BLOOM technology and the Arpa HPL Bloom leading the way, the possibilities are endless."-

(1) The Erre finish is distinguished by the appeal of touch: silky compact surfaces that soften colors and emphasize the harmony of the composition. Lucida is a surface with a mirror-like finish that gives surfaces a unique sheen. Kèr is a matte texture that adds sensual tactility.
