LIGHTWEIGHT #GREENGRIDZ DESKTOP SAVES MILEAGE, FUEL AND CO2

For every 100% loaded trailer with #GREENGRIDZ circular desk and table tops, there are two half-loaded trailers with solid tops.

For every 100% loaded trailer with #GREENGRIDZ circular desk and table tops, there are two half-loaded trailers with solid tops. That saves kilometres, fuel and CO2. Because a load of innovative #GREENGRIDZ worktops weighs 60% less than traditional solid tops, the truck's engine has to work harder. 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 means that we always produce close to our customers, minimising CO2 emissions and environmental impact compared to panels that come from far away.  

60% LESS MATERIAL = 50% MORE VOLUME TRANSPORTED

In the Netherlands, the maximum weight of a truck including cargo is set at 50,000 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 fuel and CO2.

60% LESS MATERIAL = 50% 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 required decreases exponentially. The weight of solid furniture panels is heavy. Compared to #GREENGRIDZ, this makes a difference of approximately 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 = 60% LESS MATERIAL = 60% LESS CO2

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!

#GREENGRIDZ THE FURNITURE CONSTRUCTION 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 construction panel with a healthy mission, achieving these objectives becomes child's play.
