WMF Second Life: Redefining sustainability

Cutlery from WMF Professional and HEPP is characterised not only by its attractive design, but also by its first-class quality and durability. As a result, it fulfils the requirements of restaurateurs in many respects – from visual appearance to cost-effectiveness and environmental friendliness. The topic of sustainability is an integral part of the company's philosophy and is now once again demonstrated on the laid table. The new concept gives second-hand cutlery, returns and discontinued products a new chance – in the spirit of a sustainable circular economy. By opting for Second Life cutlery, restaurants benefit from the wide variety of collections from WMF Professional and HEPP: The stonewashed menu items, coffee spoons and cake forks are mixed across the collection, emphasising the Second Life vintage character. To ensure that restaurateurs and their guests can enjoy the cutlery for many years to come, the table knives are sharpened during reconditioning and retain their outstanding cutting ability even as a second-life product. As a special finishing touch, the table knives are laser engraved with the "Second Life" lettering.

The environmentally friendly Second Life cutlery can be integrated into a wide variety of gastronomic concepts. From communal gastronomy to pop-up concepts and restaurants: The topic of sustainability plays a decisive role. This is not only reflected in menus with vegan and vegetarian dishes, but also in the efforts of restaurateurs to prevent food waste. Selecting equipment responsibly is another important component of ecological gastronomy concepts. WMF Second Life combines these aspects without having to forego a stylish table ambience. After all, Second Life's cutlery pieces literally invite you to take modern mix and match looks to the next level. The stonewashed cutlery gives any laid table a very individual touch.

Stonewashing: Unique pieces with a used look

During the machine stonewashing process, grinding tools work on the surface of the cutlery like small files. The result is irregular material removal, meaning that no two pieces are the same. This impressive vintage look works particularly well in conjunction with rustic porcelain – or it can act as a departure in style from more subtle collections.
