GreenPan = Green Living


Frying may not be the healthiest way of cooking, but who said it had to be bad for the environment too? From materials to manufacturing, from packaging to aftercare, GreenPan by Typhoon have considered the processes and have tried to make each stage as eco-friendly as possible.


The body of the GreenPan is recycled black aluminium, giving second life to previously processed materials. This however does not skimp on the quality and the pan is guaranteed for 5 years.


The aluminium is also fully coated in Thermolon, a natural ceramic, PTFE-free non-stick coating. Unlike traditional non-stick coating, Thermolon is cured at a lower temperature, reducing the percentage of carbon emissions emitted.


The environmental care doesn’t stop after the manufacturing of the pans: the packaging the pans are sold in, and the information leaflets that are sent out, are all printed on recycled paper.


My favourite thing about the GreenPan is that for every pan sold, Typhoon plant a tree in India to help offset carbon emissions and provide farmers with crops to further their trade and improve their family’s livelihood.


Typhoon’s GreenPan is ideal for general household use as the non-stick coating is superior and resistant up to 450C and the professional Bakelite handle is designed to stay cool and has a lovely, comfortable ergonomic grip.
