SPE Benelux presents first Polymers and Plastics Innovation Awards (slideshow): VanBerlo

Winner in the category of Best Substitute Product was VanBerlo design agency, who redesigned a traditional steel extractor hood in plastic material for its client, Gutmann. The new product has a sleeker design and, importantly, can be mass produced at a lower cost. Its extraction performance, too, increased: internally, the design freedom provided by the use of plastic has lead to an improved filtration construction, which reduces kitchen odors and grease deposit.
