SCANPAN manufactures its environmentally friendly cookware from recycled metal.
Sydney, NSW: SCANPAN, an international premium cookware brand, demonstrates its dedication to excellent food and quality ingredients through the manufacturing of its distinctive non-stick cookware. SCANPAN Stratanium engages in the recycling of scrap metals sourced from items such as soda cans and license plates, as well as other aluminium products that might otherwise end up in landfills (Stratanium is SCANPAN’s exclusive non-stick coating). This practice, along with several other conscious efforts has resulted in a substantial reduction in their carbon footprint, conservation of water and energy, and a decrease in overall waste production.
SCANPAN Stratanium proudly emphasizes that all the aluminium used in their cookware is sourced from recycled materials. This results in the final products being crafted from a minimum of 93% recycled metal, highlighting a harmonious balance between sustainability and uncompromising quality. Furthermore, all SCANPAN cookware is manufactured free of PFOA, PFOS, and any other PFAS of concern. Manufactured in Denmark, one of the strictest food safety jurisdictions in the world, SCANPAN Stratanium meets and exceeds every requirement.
Jesper Brund, Owner and CEO of the company commented, “Minimizing our environmental footprint has been our commitment since my father founded the company and continues to be our guiding principle. From our family-owned business to your family’s table, making safe, long-lasting cookware is our priority.
