bring a sense of purpose to every project
100% biobased binder
What truly sets enduura® elba apart is its 100% biobased binder used in the chipboard core. Instead of fossil-based adhesives, it uses tannins extracted from tree bark; a natural by-product that is now put to full use. After extraction, the remaining bark is repurposed as mulch in horticulture, ensuring nothing goes to waste.The result: a 100% biobased board material that is both innovative and circular.
Key advantages:
-
Up to 50% CO₂ reduction compared to formaldehyde-based binders
-
Formaldehyde-free, with no harmful synthetic adhesives
-
Smart use of natural by-products – every part of the tree is utilised
biobased chipboard
The core of enduura® elba is made from chipboard produced with wood sourced from sustainably managed European forests. This ensures a responsible origin, with respect for biodiversity and ecological balance.
The material is also fully compatible with Keller’s circular kitchen process – meaning that once the kitchen reaches the end of its life cycle, it can be returned and reprocessed into new raw material. This way, your kitchen truly remains part of the circular chain.
Key advantages:
-
Wood from certified, sustainably managed forests
-
Fully reusable through Keller’s circular kitchen process
-
A strong, reliable and environmentally friendly material
biogenic melamine
The melamine top layer of enduura® elba is not only beautifully finished but also produced more sustainably than traditional melamine.
Thanks to an innovative production technology, Dutch biogas is used instead of natural gas, resulting in a 40% reduction in CO₂ emissions compared to conventional melamine.
Key advantages:
-
40% lower CO₂ emissions during production
-
Powered by Dutch biogas
-
A durable, low-maintenance surface built to last
red dot winner 2026: design concept
Keller Keukens has received the Red Dot Award: Design Concept 2026 for its biobased kitchen range, enduura® elba. This international recognition highlights the sustainable and innovative direction we have been pursuing for many years, proving that responsible material choices, smart design and large-scale production can go hand in hand.
“This recognition shows that sustainable innovation and scalability can go hand in hand,” says Connie Vis, Product Manager Portfolio & Innovation. “For many years, we have invested in research and close collaboration across the supply chain to develop a solution that demonstrably supports more responsible material choices, while meeting the technical and economic requirements of today’s market.”
waste becomes resource
It is finished with an eco edge banding made from 50% post-industrial recycled material. By reusing existing resources, we reduce the demand for new raw materials – and with it, our CO₂ emissions. A high-quality edge banding also ensures the long-lasting durability of the kitchen.
together for a world without waste

sustainable handles, the finishing touch

handles made from maritime plastic
Every year, around 11 million tonnes of plastic end up in our oceans. A large share of this comes from “ghost nets” - fishing gear lost at sea.
Our sustainable handles are made from recycled fishing nets and ropes that would otherwise pollute the ocean.By giving these materials a new life, we help clean up the oceans and reduce the demand for fossil-based raw materials at the same time.
