#GREENGRIDZ WORKPLACE CIRCULAR APPLICATION FOR PRACTICAL IMPLEMENTATION SDG12

The production of our goods must be much more convenient in view of the growing world population: 'producing more with less'.

The production of our goods must be much more convenient in view of the growing world population: 'producing more with less'. Billions of solid panels are produced every year, the industrial potential for saving material with #GREENGRIDZ is astronomical. Billions of kilos less material, CO2 and waste simply by using a lightweight furniture construction panel.    

FROM THE MATERIAL OF 1 MASSIVE FURNITURE PANEL YOU MAKE 3 #GREENGRIDZ PANELS

The weight of solid furniture panels is heavy. Compared to #GREENGRIDZ this makes a difference of approximately 60%. The weight per m2 of a 38 mm furniture panel is approximately 18 kg for plywood, 25 kg for chipboard and 8 kg for #GREENGRIDZ. The #GREENGRIDZ furniture panel is available from 24 mm to 200 mm. As the panel gets thicker, the weight benefits increase significantly and the material required decreases exponentially. In terms of weight per m3, chipboard averages 650 kg, plywood 800 kg and #GREENGRIDZ 250 kg.

YOU DON'T NEED TO PRODUCE MATERIAL THAT YOU DON'T USE.

If we use this crisis to change and replace solid panels with lightweight #GREENGRIDZ panels, billions of kilos of material could be saved every year. The impact on material use and CO2 emissions would be huge. This can contribute to the realisation of the sustainable development goals (SDGs) on an industrial scale. This avoids the use of materials. It doesn't get more sustainable and circular than that!

60% TO 90% LESS MATERIAL NEEDED FOR A #GREENGRIDZ PANEL

With a 24mm #GREENGRIDZ lightweight furniture construction panel, 60% less material is used than a solid top made of chipboard, MDF or plywood. With a 100mm sheet, only 10% solid material is left in the lightweight construction. With #GREENGRIDZ, depending on the thickness of the panel, between 60 and 90% less raw material is extracted from Mother Earth. The material is simply not needed anymore to make a strong lightweight furniture construction.
