Sustainable kitchen products to take your eco-friendly home reno to the next level

In the same way our cars and clothing are increasingly designed with the climate in mind, it’s natural that our home products are following suit. These four green machines offer sustainable solutions to everyday kitchen products without sacrificing style or innovation.

Enchantment Kitchen

Moralia’s cutting-edge (and eye-appealing) kitchen systems embody sustainable thinking in more ways than one.

Plus, their integrated LED lighting is designed to run for 50,000 hours before being replaced — so you can look forward to a brighter future. Price upon request, at Moralia.

Autodos Dishwasher by Miele - sustainable kitchen solutions

This means less electricity is needed to heat the water. It calibrates the amount of dishes in the chamber and carefully adapts its water consumption, allowing you to clean a half-load with a clear conscience. From $3099, at Miele.

The Bentway’s playful installation of 50 trees in shopping carts shines a light on climate resilience and green equity

In a city grappling with rising temperatures, accelerated development and increasing inequity in green space accessibility, Moving Forest arrives not as a solution, but as an invitation to rethink our relationship with nature. Designed by NL Architects as a part of The Bentway’s Sun/Shade exhibition, this outlandish yet purposeful installation transforms a fleet of 50 shopping carts into mobile vessels for native trees—red maples, silver maples, sugar maples and autumn blaze—that roll through some of Toronto’s most sun-scorched plazas, creating impromptu oases of shade and community.
