SUSTAIN is not simply a new line of cabinets but rather a wholly new approach to custom cabinetry. While all of our work at AlterECO has been green since our founding in 1997, becoming ever more clear is the vital importance that "green" be meaningful and truly impactful in moving society in the direction of sustainability and getting the CO2 in our atmosphere back down to normal, healthy levels (350ppm or less). And time is of the essence. Such critical mandates require far more than "green" consumerism. In addition to requiring that less products actually be "consumed"--be they "green" or not, products must be be designed from a perspective of interconnectedness with the environment, with community, with life.

And so, SUSTAIN is not one specific product line but rather THE WAY in which we approach a project that enables us to provide solutions that go beyond the design of product alone and delve into the holistic design of the space--looking closely at how the space and the needs of the client can best be accomodated in a deeply green--and deeply satisfying--way.

SUSTAIN also offers opportunities for significant savings that come from intelligent simplification and truly matching needs, including the emotional, visual & tactile--as well as the practical--with responsible solutions. Please see "Value & Values" for an explanation of the cost of AlterECO cabinetry.

Please contact us for a personal consultation of how the way of SUSTAIN might be the ideal path to greening your kitchen, bath or other space in your home or business environment.
