PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE!

Is it possible to significantly reduce the CO2 footprint, material use and waste of the furniture industry. Is it possible to meet the demand and build strong circular furniture that our society needs to function. Is it possible? Make more with less CO2, less material and less waste.

Yes you can! The alternative that solves three problems at once at the source is #GREENGRIDZ. The innovative lightweight circular furniture construction panel that you use to build desktops, tables, cabinets, call boxes, bleachers, floors and walls.

Because #GREENGRIDZ is constructed from a patented GRID, between 60 and 90% less material is used in production, depending on thickness, compared to traditional heavy solid panels such as particleboard, plywood and mdf. Because less material is needed to make the same amount of furniture, the use of raw materials drops significantly. Automatically, this also decreases the carbon footprint, waste and environmental impact.

The light weight of the panels also saves a lot of CO2 in transportation. In the Netherlands, the maximum weight of a truck including load is set at 50,000 kilos. With solid panels, this means that only 50% can be loaded. With #GREENGRIDZ this is 100%, in other words, instead of 2 trucks, only 1 truck goes on the road. The total reduction in CO2 is 60% compared to solid furniture panels.

The fact that much less material is used also means there is less waste left over at the end of its life. Because what you don't use, you don't have to reuse. Now that's circular! And there is also a solution for the waste that remains at the end of the lifespan. You return the panels to TRIBOO EU and a pyrolysis process turns them into activated carbon for water and air filters. Thus the waste from the furniture industry turns into a raw material for the purification industry and the raw material cycle is closed.
