From Recession to Innovation: How 185 Sandwiches and Critical. are Redefining Hospitality with Sustainable Design
LovingKale's reflection: 'If we believe this recession will get the best of us, it will. If we believe this recession is an opportunity to improve ourselves and our businesses, it can be that, too.'
Watch Video Airbnb,Microsoft,The Walt Disney CompanyandIntuit Mailchimpto name a few were all started in recessions. We launchedCritical.during COVID. And it's heartening to seeing more restaurant and hospitality brands like185 Sandwichestaking on the challenge and stepping out to do the same. Founded byYuriy Ackermannand his partner (chef),185 Sandwicheson Queen Street next to Aotea Square focuses on delivering the best sandwiches in Tāmaki Makaurau! I'm not a foodie, but they've put some real magic in that bacon. Their focus on doing the one thing they do really well and doubling down on their niche is inspiring for other startups today. And I love their minimalist approach in using bothCritical.'s Forest Cleanstone as shelving and our Clear Cleanstone as the customer counter top to bring life, colour and excitement into their elegant space. Both types of materials are made from 100% recycled soft plastics, commercial fishing nets and rigid plastic packaging. This humble little fit out has helped to divert approx. 200kgs of plastics from landfill and avoid approx. 690 kgs of carbon emissions.
