nobilia Kitchen Cabinets
Melamine-faced kitchen cabinets from nobilia, which describes itself as Europe’s largest kitchen manufacturer. Three declarations cover wall, base and high cabinets at 178, 309 and 145 kgCO₂e per m³ of gross storage volume on a fossil basis. Their GWP-total figures are far lower and one is negative, because biogenic uptake is booked in A1–A3 and released again at C3.
