Both companies join forces and come up with a pragmatic solution that is going to make a positive contribution to the resource problem facing the world. TRIBOO with its innovative lightweight #GREENGRIDZ desk and table tops and high-profile 3D printed bases for tables. Interstuhl with its world first, the PURE collection.

OVER 25 POUNDS LESS MATERIAL PER WORKSTATION

Together, on a standard 1600x800x24mm workstation, they save 18 kilograms of material on the desk and 7.5 kilograms on the office chair. In total, each circular workplace uses more than 25 kilos less material than the traditional solutions offered as standard in the market. And material you don't use you don't have to reuse, more circular than that is not possible.

NO WASTE FEES. YOU WILL RECEIVE 5 EUROS PER KILO OF FURNITURE WHEN RETURNING THE RAW MATERIAL

There is also the table program where the bases are 3D printed in high-profile shapes from the recycling of plastic waste streams. These bases are made from 100% recycled content and can be shredded at the end of their life to be reprinted into furniture pieces. When handing in the 3D printed furniture pieces, the owner receives 5 euros per kilo of furniture and also does not have to pay for waste disposal, a win-win situation for the person who has invested in the reusable raw materials. The plastic components of the PURE can also be reused through this route. This is how furniture becomes Neverending.

70% FEWER PARTS AND 98% OF THEM CAN BE RE-CYCLED

PURE chairs adapt automatically to the user, their body and movements, without the need for complicated settings. The chair not only allows movement in all dimensions, but also ensures that you can work actively and productively anytime, anywhere. The design starting point is, an attractive design with as few materials used as possible, which function efficiently and are easy to recycle. The result? A comfortable, durable and lightweight office chair (40% lighter in weight) with a modern design and with a revolutionary integrated "Smart Spring" technology. The base of PURE with this smart technology consists of a pure and 100% recyclable polyamide with glass fibers.

USE AS LONG AS POSSIBLE AND REUSE RAW MATERIALS AT END OF LIFE

Both companies acknowledge that there is still a way to go. Step by step to close the raw materials cycle so that all the valuable ingredients of the furniture no longer end up in the waste. Great results have already been achieved. The #greengridz desk and table tops can be handed in at the end of their life and are transformed through pyrolysis into activated carbon, a raw material for the purification industry, which is used in water and air filters. The recycled plastics serve as a raw material for other furniture. With this collaboration, both parties want to accelerate the transition to a circular economy and society without waste by sharing knowledge and increasing the pace of scaling up. Together you make more impact.
