On 12 April 2022, it will be Earth Overshoot Day for the Netherlands. The day when we have used up all available natural resources for the entire year. Are we going to let this day, which is moved forward every year, get further forward? Or will we make other choices in advance this year to push this day further back?

When it comes to furniture and circular office design, #greengridz is the practical solution that directly contributes to reducing the use of raw materials and CO2. By choosing workstations and tables in the office and at home equipped with a #greengridz worktop in 2022, you help move the #earthovershootday to the back of your mind.  

SAVE AT LEAST 18 KG OF MATERIAL AND 60% CO2 ON EACH WORKSTATION OR TABLE

With every work or meeting place you furnish in the office or at home, you can make an enormous contribution to reducing the use of materials. Every day, desks are still being equipped with heavy, solid tops made of chipboard. On average, these 1600x800mm desktops weigh around 25kg. With #greengridz desktop, the same sheet with better characteristics weighs only 7 kg. That's a difference of 18 kg of material per sheet that no longer needs to be used. The material is simply not needed anymore to make a strong lightweight furniture construction. It doesn't get more circular and sustainable than that.  

WORLDWIDE WE CAN SAVE BILLIONS OF KILOS OF MATERIAL AND CO2 WITH LIGHTWEIGHT #GREENGRIDZ FURNITURE CONSTRUCTION PANELS

Solid furniture construction panels are an integral part of our everyday lives. You see them at work in the form of furniture such as desks, tables, pantries and walls, and at home as cabinets, beds and kitchens. The global market for these panels is approximately USD 145 billion. Unimaginable quantities of panels are produced 24 hours a day. Unimaginable quantities of panels are thrown away every day. Massive amounts of material are extracted from the earth and about 85% of the panels that are thrown away are burned. If we replace all solid panels with lightweight #greengridz, the material reduction amounts to billions of kilos of raw materials and CO2. #greengridz, the furniture construction panel by TRIBOO has a healthy mission and is going to make a difference.

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

With a 19mm #GREENGRIDZ lightweight furniture panel, 60% less material is used than with a solid chipboard or plywood top. With a 100 mm panel, 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.

NOT USING MATERIAL ANYMORE IS THE MOST CIRCULAR AND SUSTAINABLE

If we replace solid panels with lightweight #GREENGRIDZ panels, we can save billions of kilos of material per year worldwide. The impact this has on material use and CO2 emissions is gigantic. This makes it a furniture construction panel that can contribute on an industrial scale to realising the sustainable development goals (SDGs). By doing so, you avoid the use of materials. It doesn't get more sustainable and circular than that!

60% LESS MATERIAL = 60% LESS WEIGHT

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 20 mm to 400 mm. As the panel gets thicker, the weight benefits increase significantly and the material requirement decreases exponentially.
