#GREENGRIDZ = 60% LESS MATERIAL = 60% LESS CO2

With #GREENGRIDZ you avoid the use of materials. Extracting 60% less raw materials from Mother Earth. It doesn't get more sustainable and circular than that!

Because 60% less material needs to be used to make the #GREENGRIDZ furniture panel, 60% less raw material is extracted from Mother Earth. The material is simply not needed anymore to make a strong lightweight furniture construction. This avoids the use of materials. It doesn't get more sustainable and circular than that!

60% LESS MATERIAL = LESS FUEL AND CO2

Since a load of #GREENGRIDZ panels weighs less, the truck's engine has to work less. As a result, fuel consumption and CO2 emissions are significantly lower compared to a load of traditional solid furniture panels. #GREENGRIDZ is made in the Netherlands. This way, we always produce close to our customers, minimising CO2 emissions and environmental impact compared to panels shipped from far away.  

60% LESS MATERIAL = 60% LESS WEIGHT AND MORE VOLUME TO TRANSPORT

In the Netherlands, the maximum weight of a truck including cargo is set at 40,000 kg. In practice, this means that trailers with solid board materials can only be half-loaded. As a result, the load factor is only 50% of the total volume that can be transported. With #GREENGRIDZ, trailers can be loaded to 100% due to their light weight, which in turn saves kilometres and CO2.

60% LESS MATERIAL = 60% LESS WEIGHT

The weight of solid furniture panels is heavy. Compared to #GREENGRIDZ this is about 60%. The weight per m3 is on average 650 kg for chipboard, 800 kg for plywood and 250 kg for #GREENGRIDZ.

60% LESS MATERIAL = 60% LESS WEIGHT LIFTING

A piece of furniture that looks robust but doesn't weigh a thing! Our secret of lightweight is invisible! By using our patented GRID, the furniture panel consists of 60% air. This is great for the well-being and health of our customers, it is easy to move, to assemble and it also protects your back.  

#GREENGRIDZ THE FURNITURE PANEL WITH A HEALTHY MISSION

Almost all furniture is made of solid furniture panels. With this application, many raw materials are needed and the panels are very heavy in terms of weight. The social task in terms of health, sustainability and circularity is to use raw materials sparingly, produce no waste and save CO2. Who would have thought that making furniture could contribute to this? By applying #GREENGRIDZ, the furniture panel with a healthy mission, achieving these objectives becomes child's play.
