Every year Bathe Australia take a group to tour their German suppliers factories and to see what is new and exciting in the world of bathroomware. This year I was lucky to attend and over the next few posts I’ll be sharing with you all that was discovered, learnt and eaten in those 10 glorious days! We began our German adventure in Munster, also known as the bicycle capital of Germany. This beautiful town is home to approx 48,500 students and we were informed that every person has at least 2 bikes. There were literally bikes everywhere! We made daily (short) trips to Ahlen for Kaldewei and were greeted each time by a stunning enamel-clad building and the smiling faces of the Kaldewei staff. The most astounding thing I discovered about Kaldewei was their 0% waste policy. Nothing, nichts, not one little piece is wasted. They recycle all product i.e. glass and steel and even re-use the taphole/overflow cut-outs for waste covers etc. Very eco-friendly!
