Introducing the WasteLAB Vox Sink, a groundbreaking creation from Kohler’s innovative manufacturing waste reuse business, KOHLER WasteLAB. This bathroom sink is not just a product, it's a sustainable solution that redefines the concept of waste.
Crafted from over 70% recycled materials, the WasteLAB Vox Sink diverts manufacturing waste from landfills, contributing to Kohler's ambitious goal of achieving zero waste-to-landfill by 2035. By repurposing ceramic and cast iron waste through an innovative recycling process, each sink is a unique masterpiece, showcasing a soft minimalist form and a stone-like aesthetic that is truly one-of-a-kind.
The creation of the WasteLAB Vox Sink marks a significant milestone in sustainable design. This sink represents not only a new product category for the WasteLAB but also a completely new material set, paving the way for future products that prioritize waste reduction and sustainable living.
The WasteLAB Vox Sink's resemblance to natural granite or polished stone adds a touch of elegance to any bathroom space, demonstrating that sustainability and high design can go hand in hand. It challenges conventional perceptions of waste, turning discarded materials into beautiful, functional pieces that elevate the concept of eco-friendly living.
Since its inception in 2017, the WasteLAB has been committed to reimagining waste as valuable resources for innovation. By viewing waste streams as opportunities rather than obstacles, the WasteLAB has diverted thousands of pounds of waste from landfills, showcasing Kohler’s dedication to environmental stewardship.
The WasteLAB Vox Sink embodies Kohler’s ethos of sustainability, innovation, and design excellence. It's more than just a sink; it's a symbol of our commitment to creating a more sustainable future, one recycled material at a time.
