#GREENGRIDZ DESK, TABLE AND KITCHEN WORKTOPS TURN INTO WATER AND AIR FILTERS

The product from one industry is the raw material for another industry.

#GREENGRIDZ, the furniture construction panel with a healthy mission, is a circular product from the furniture industry. At the end of their lifespan, the innovative lightweight panels do not end up in landfills or incinerators. They can be handed in and are turned into active carbon for the production of water and air filters. These then find their way to the offices and kitchens of the Netherlands. A closed raw materials loop.

Initiators are Marc van der Heijden, director of TRIBOO, Ben van Elk, product manager at Dekker Zevenhuizen and Kenny vanreppelen, CEO at ACT&SORB. Together they close the raw materials loop and bring a disruptive solution to the market for circular #greengridz desk, table and kitchen worktops.

The companies are going to make a difference on an industrial scale in cleaning up our planet. Every year, 76,000 tonnes of non-recyclable MDF and chipboard can be turned into active carbon. With the disruptive technology, circular business model and professional return logistics, a beautiful synergy is created between the wood processing industry, the construction and furniture industry and air and water purification. The goal of creating a world in which waste replaces fossil materials has come another step closer. A win-win situation for everyone.

Watch the film, get inspired and start applying this practical circular solution to circular office design today.
