The kbbreview Christmas Window Competition is back for 2022
CHRISTMAS IS coming and while the goose is getting fat, KBB retailers only have one thing on their mind – the return of the kbbreview Christmas Window Competition.
Egger boosts recycled content with over £15m investment
BOARD MANUFACTURER Egger has invested more than £15 million in its site at Hexham to improve the quality of the recycled wood used to produce its chipboard panels.
The new recycling plant uses the latest technology to segregate, clean and chip waste that would otherwise have been burnt or sent to landfill. Not only does the new process allow Egger to increase the amount of recycled wood in each chipboard panel it makes, but the high-quality recycled
material produced by the new state-of-the-art processing facility also guarantees the quality of the final panel is not compromised.
The use of recycled material also maintains the carbon stored in the wood and so benefits the environment. Egger UK product manager Alex West said: “Increasing our recycled
content answers the demand from the interior design, furniture, and house- building industries for more environmentally conscious products. We are a major supplier to these industries, so it’s important that we lead the way when it comes to sustainable product innovation.” He added: “Not only does this investment strengthen our closed loop production cycle, but it also demonstrates the importance and commitment the company places on a sustainable supply of raw materials.” Plans for the project began in 2019 and construction started in October 2020, facing many challenges because of Covid-19, skills shortages and material availability. Commissioning began in
August
and chipboard production with increased recycled content is now under way.
All good retailers want to make anyone passing their showroom stop and stare at the wonders within. You need to grab their attention and make them desperate to step inside and see more.
The festive season is the perfect opportunity to do something exceptionally creative and eye-catching so we’re looking for the best Christmas Window in the independent kitchen, bedroom and bathroom retailer community. We want trees, baubles, tinsel, wreaths, lights, bells a-jingling, lords a-leaping and Noddy Holder a-screaming. In fact, anything goes and all you have to do to enter is take photos (including ones from the outside) and post them on Twitter, Instagram or LinkedIn.
But make sure you tag @kbbreview and use #kbbxmas22 otherwise we,
and everyone else, might not see you! The competition is open
from
November 18 to December 9, 2022 and we’ll announce the winner and the three runners up on December 14. And while the honour of having the best Christmas Window in the industry is surely immense, we’ll also donate £500 to a charity of the winner’s choice courtesy of our sponsor Quooker.
So, a huge thanks to Quooker for sponsoring once again and we’re all looking forward to seeing you get Christmas creative! “We loved doing the Christmas
Window Competition last year,” said kbbreview editor Rebecca Nottingham. “Everyone was so festive and joined in the spirit and fun of it, of course, but it’s also a great way of rewarding and highlighting something that independents do so well and that’s inject personality into and the local community.”
