TRIBOO and Interstuhl are jointly launching a circular furniture program of desks and tables with matching desk and conference chairs made with less material, less CO2 and no waste.
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 chair program.
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 what you don't use, you don't have to reuse. It doesn't get more circular than that, according to both companies.
The PUREIS3 is meant to sit and made to move. PUREIS3 replaces usual mechanisms with innovative materials. The central element, the Smart Spring, is made by an innovative combination of polyamide and fiberglass. The chair dynamically adapts to the respective user and his movements. Active sitting is encouraged and it can be used intuitively. No further settings are required for three-dimensional sitting - for anyone in any situation. No buttons, so automatically good sitting.
With PUREIS3, sitting is freedom. That not only allows movement in all directions, but also ensures that the user is constantly in motion. Forget everything you've ever known about chairs: PUREIS3 guarantees a sitting experience like no other - for the working world of tomorrow that is already part of our lives today.
The chair is lighter than other similar chairs, thus reducing environmental impact. Fewer raw materials, lower energy consumption, less waste, lower freight costs. In addition, the chair (like all Interstuhl chairs) is 98% recyclable.
Compared to similar office chair models, the material consumption is reduced by 40%, converted to 7.5 kg. The energy consumption for the materials in PUREis3 compared to the materials of similar office chairs is only about 25%. The replacement of the classic chair mechanism reduces the number of required functional parts by about 70%. After its service life, this simplifies the disassembly prior to recycling. At the same time, the direct combination of materials used is reduced.
The difference between reuse and recycling is that in the case of reuse, the product is reused in its application, whereas in the case of recycling, the steel is melted down to make a new or different steel product. In this respect, reuse is the most advantageous in terms of material energy. Material energy is the energy used for production and assembly, up to and including the energy used for demolition. Since steel can be dismantled, it can often be easily reused. In addition, all steel is recyclable, even when galvanised or coated. Central to recycling is the collection of dismantled steel products. This 'scrap' is collected and processed worldwide. Both steel production processes (the blast furnace and the melting furnace) convert this scrap into liquid steel. Worldwide, 45% of all steel is made from scrap. That not all steel is (yet) made from scrap is due to the fact that the demand for steel is higher than the amount of steel that is released from scrap. The production of steel from scrap consumes 45% less energy than the production of steel from iron ore.
Computer Numerical Control or CNC for short refers to the process of removing material with high-speed precision machines that use a wide range of cutting tools. These machines are used to process materials such as wood, plastics, stone, composites and metal to make circular office furniture.
With the press, waste plastics and natural fibres are turned under high pressure and heat into sheets that are used to make circular furniture. The raw materials harvested from the plastic waste are old children's toys, soap bottles, CD cases, crates, lamps, garden furniture and household appliances. The natural fibres are extracted from old milk cartons, hemp, coffee grounds, old clothes, wood chips, paper and cardboard.
With injection moulding, plastic recyclate that is supplied as granulate is melted into a viscous mass and injected under high pressure into a mould whose cavity is the shape of the desired product. By cooling, the plastic solidifies and the desired product is obtained.
With healthy and circular furniture. Less material, less CO2 and less waste!
