ALPHARETTA,
GA – BOCCHI
recently announced its recommitment to corporate sustainability, which includes
previous best practices that aim to serve the environment and is aiming to
create zero waste during production.
“Sustainable processes and the use of materials that benefit the
planet have always been the core of who we are and what we do at BOCCHI,” said
Akgun Seckiner, Chief Executive Officer at BOCCHI. “Everyone faced unique
challenges in 2020, and we found it important to recommit to and renew our best
practices, in a way that continues to benefit both our customers and the
environment.”
At the forefront of BOCCHI’s efforts to remain sustainable are the
100% recyclable materials used to make their heritage product, fireclay Apron
Front sinks. Any unfinished, unfired material can be repurposed into new
products, resulting in zero waste. In the United States, select industrial
landfills will accept customers’ old sinks to be recycled, and in the company’s
home country of Turkey, sinks are repurposed into road construction material.
In addition, BOCCHI requires that their production process yields zero hazardous
waste.
To better serve customers in their homes, all BOCCHI products are
created using high-pressure casting and electrostatic glazing, resulting in
easy-to-clean, bacteria resistant appliances that do not require the use of
harsh chemical cleaning products. BOCCHI’s production process utilizes kilns
that better manage the output of energy, rather than the traditional method of
appliance production.
“We take our materials straight from the earth when we’re mining
the fireclay for our sinks,” said Seckiner. “BOCCHI makes it a priority to give
back to the environment what we’ve taken, leaving it in a better place than
when we started.”

practices, and its products, visit BOCCHIUSA.com.
