Consider this: The San Francisco Business Times reported that more than 70% of the people who bought units at the Four Seasons Residential Project had their kitchens remodeled prior to move in (in accordance with their personal taste). That's nearly 100 brand new kitchens that were sent to landfills! M8 founders Steven and Joan Livingston understand that homeowners want to personalize their kitchens (and beyond), and they get that tastes change and evolve, as do homeowners themselves. As an answer M8 has developed a patented changeable system that lets you "remodel" your cabinets without actually remodeling them. In a few easy steps you can change the face of M8 boxes without having to replace all of the actual cabinets, thus keeping wood out of the landfill. They will even take back the discarded faces, dismantle them and return the individual parts to their vendors to be refabricated into new M8 products. Plus, they have a huge selection of eco-friendly materials and finishes to choose from, and everything is made to order to eliminate the need to have warehouses full of unused inventory. Joan Livingston says - in the spirit of her company - that while their product is inherently environmentally-friendly, really, "it's up to the consumer to decide how eco they want to be." M8 provides a vast selection, so what shade of green are you going to paint your cabinetry, metaphorically speaking?
