The National Kitchen & Bath Association (NKBA), the North American authority on all things residential kitchen and bath, and Renovation Angel (RA), a 501(c)(3) non-profit and the nation’s premier kitchen, bath and furniture recycler, are accepting nominations for the 2021 NKBA and Renovation Angel Luxury Kitchen Recycling Awards. Now in its second year, the awards recognize the astounding work done by design professionals nationwide who have made the commitment to be responsible renovators.
“Instead of a traditional kitchen demolition where nearly everything is destined for a landfill, these designers have made it part of their business model to encourage their clients to donate their existing kitchen to Renovation Angel,” explained Steve Feldman, CEO of Renovation Angel. “Depending on the condition of the space, nearly every material and product from cabinets, appliances, decorative plumbing and surfaces is removed and then upcycled as part of a new kitchen project. It’s a win-win situation all around.”
The NKBA RA Luxury Kitchen Recycling Awards competition is free to enter and is open to all kitchen designers, architects, contractors, interior designers and other industry professionals. The requirements are simple. Industry professionals should visit https://renovationangel.com/awards/ and submit projects in which at least 50% of the existing materials were recycled or donated. Projects must have been completed between Jan. 1, 2018, and Nov. 20, 2020. All entry packets must be received by 11:59PM PST, Thursday, Dec. 31, 2020.
The 2021 winners will be announced live during KBIS Virtual Feb. 8 – 12.
