Eco Kitchen – by Faltazi
Check out this amazing concept Eco Kitchen designed by Faltazi. It has four main functions: waste management, food health, reduce energy consumption, and intelligent storage. Complemented with several modules for distribution, processing and storage of organic solid and liquid wastes, and also built-in dishwasher, steam oven and refrigerators.
The Eco Kitchen named Ekokook from French design house processes in the kitchen all the waste generated in the kitchen, through using three built-in micro-processing plants for recycling organic kitchen waste, reusing water and processing solid materials.
In the Ekokook kitchen all non-organic waste is stored in five separate units for processing glass, paper, plastics, metals and miscellaneous waste. Hand-activated machines break glass, compress cans and bottles, and shred paper into bricks. The onsite processing reduces CO2 generation from recycling trucks, resulting in less noise nuisance and less atmospheric pollution.
Water used in the kitchen to wash dishes and vegetables is recycled into pitchers via a particle filter and can then be used to water the kitchen herbs and plants. The designers estimate more than 15 litres (4 US gallons) of water will be saved every day – the equivalent of what is needed to run a standard dishwasher load.
An earthworm composter breaks down all the organic waste generated in the kitchen. The Ekokook system uses a sealed, rotating drum worm-composter container for processing kitchen scraps. The worm composter will process the waste into compost within three months. The compost can then be mixed with water to create a fertilizer to water both indoor and outdoor plants.
Incredible stuff – so will the Eco Kitchen by Faltazi be the kitchen of the future?
